Volodya, thanks for the suggestion again.

Using the depends.exe tool from Microsoft I can see that the two
missing DLLs my program needs are MSVCP80D.DLL and MSVCR80D.DLL. I'm
guessing that Boost Build passes the path specified by <dll-path> in
the PATH env variable and that the program itself doesn't look for
these particular DLLs on the PATH. Manually adding the directory on
the PATH, or even starting the program from the directory containing
the DLLs also doesn't work.

By now this is well beyond the scope of Boost Build but I'd still want
to get it working. Any ideas?

Thanks,
