Right that looks like just what I need except I had to change a few 
things to get it to work on my system (boost RC_1_34_0 with MSVC 2005 
express sp1)

1) I had to change the boost graph library line to the following:
   <library>/boost/graph//bgl-viz

2) I had to add the following to the bgl-python project's requirements:
        <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB # disable boost auto-linking
I think this is because I've misconfigured boost.build v2 somewhere. 
Anyhow this works for me, otherwise bjam complains it cannot find the 
boost python library.

3) I was still getting unresolved symbols from expat until I made the 
following changes to the expat Jamfile.v2

project expat-2.0.0
   : source-location lib
   : build-dir bin.v2
   : requirements
     <define>HAVE_MEMMOVE
     <define>XML_STATIC
           <define>XML_BUILDING_EXPAT
        <link>static
   : usage-requirements
        <define>HAVE_MEMMOVE
        <define>XML_STATIC
   ;

lib expat
   : # Sources
     xmlparse.cpp
     xmlrole.cpp
     xmltok.cpp
   ;

4) The install option complains with the following:
Jamfile.v2:181: in load-aux
*** argument error
* rule SHELL ( command : * )
* called with: (  )
* missing argument command
(builtin):see definition of rule 'SHELL' being called

but I can install the library manually. Or I thought I could, actually I 
can't import it because of a dependency on msvcr80.dll. I'm scratching 
my head over this one. It must be something to do with my 'upgrade' to 
sp1 - something I'd advise anyone else against.

Thanks for a very useful library it is much appreciated,
John.
