I did a "cvs status -l -v" and here is the output of the file named
boost-build.jam in the boost root directory:

I had forgot the exact details, but as far as I can recall, the
headers it failed to copy are in boost/mpl/aux_/config ,
boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessor/ , boost/mpl/aux_/preprocessed ,
boost/repetition/detail/msvc/for.hpp -- I can only mention these
because I had only copied over what was required to build the library
I am working on.

Hope this helps!
