At the time of writing, Iostreams from CVS head still does not build on
Windows XP, due to missing header files. The build starts with these
comments:

******************************************************
Building Boost.Iostreams with bzip2 support disabled.
HINT: define the environment variable BZIP2_SOURCE to point to
the root directy of your bzip2 installation if you have one.
For more options, consult the Boost.Iostreams documentation
******************************************************
******************************************************
Building Boost.Iostreams with zlib and gzip support disabled.
HINT: define the environment variable BZIP2_SOURCE to point to
the root directy of your zlib installation if you have one.
For more options, consult the Boost.Iostreams documentation
******************************************************

Presumably "BZIP2_SOURCE" should not effect both types of compression, and
"directy" is a typo. Anyway, the following errors are then reported 8 times
each:

bzip2.cpp(14) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bzlib.h': No
such file or directory
zlib.cpp(14) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No
such file or directory

The command line I used for the build was:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc-8_0 -sICU_PATH=F:\Dev\icu-3.2 -sPYTHON_ROOT=C:\Apps\Python24
 -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.4
