First looking at building Boost.Python. Does not seem okay.

1. Jamfile.v2 uses PYTHON_PATH directly, but it should [ module.peek : 
PYTHON_PATH ] ;
2. There's something wrong with include paths. Seem like they don't match 
Windows disto layout.
3. I get "warning: USE_DL_IMPORT redefined" warnings from pyconfig.h, and that 
symbol is explicitly defined by Jamfile.v2 on NT.

After that, mingw does not find python dll. Msvc is still building. I'll look 
more tomorrow, but if you're interested in the (very unfinished) changes I've 
made, the modified Jamfile.v2 is at
