--------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 Hi, I'm wanting to use Boost.Python to connect C++ with Python.
 I've installed boost.
 ---------- SIDE NOTE --------------------------
  - during the process I was not sure what MSVC version I have

 The VS 2013 express that I use is located in:
 Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0

 But running the cl.exe (the compiler) within that directory gives
 Visual C++ version 18!!

 So I assume I go by the first number.  So I downloaded boost windows
 installer
 version MSVC-12.0-32bit (32-bit because something nearly always goes wrong
 in the future like one library is 64-bit while another is 32-bit, so I
 simply
 chose 32-bit even though I'm on a Windows 8 64-bit machine).
 -------------------------------------------------------------

 Anyway, boost log attached, I tried running boostrap.bat in the boost
 install directory to try and build boost jam and it failed but maybe you
 can help there.

 Or just help me find pre-built binaries because they're not located on
 SourceForge where all the links say they are located. -- Please Download
 and See!

 Thanks.
 Regards,
 -EM
