[1.33.1][Iostreams][compression] Jamfile does not copy compression libraries into target destination, on Windows platform.

Hello, I built boost 1.33.1 on my PC with the source for the bzip2 and zlib libraries in order to enable the Iostreams compression filters. While doing this, I discovered that "-sNO_COMPRESSION=0" in the bjam options, (in order to override the defaults that are selected for building on the PC platform), causes the build process to stop. Just leave it out. Also, the bzip2 and zlib libraries aren't copied with the rest of the libraries. You need to find them and copy them into place manually. I suspect this to be a bug in the Jamfile. This is the command that I issued to build Boost and the compression libraries: bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" "--prefix=c:\Boost" "--exec-prefix=c:\Boost\MSVC71" "--builddir=c:\temp\boostbuild" "--with-python-root=c:\Python" "--with-python-version=2.5" "-sBZIP2_SOURCE=c:\Downloads\Boost\bzip2-1.0.4" "-sZLIB_SOURCE=c:\Downloads\Boost\zlib-1.2.3" install Regards, Peter.
