Emil,

this is starting to get offtopic for the mail boost list. Can you write
to boost-build_at_[hidden]? You don't need to subscribe, and can read
via gmane.

Please be sure to specify the output from depends.exe, and the exact
error message you get. Also, are you by chance on a 64-bit system?
There were reports about misterious failures to find debug runtime,
which were only solved by reinstall of VC.
