Ok, I've found/fixed a typo in signals lib Jamfile. Please update and check if 
there's <link>shared, not <link>dynamic.

Another question: are you sure you have the latest version of Boost.Test 
Jamfile? The reason I'm asking is that I have up-to-date Jamfile.v2 in 
test/build, it contains:

<os>NT:<link>static

and in my tests that prevents bjam from even trying to build dll version of 
Boost.Test -- just like in V1. In fact, I've just now finally installed free 
7.1 tools and V2 does not try DLL linking. 

Finally, I've figured out that date_time was failing to compile since V1 adds 

/Zc:wchar_t

and V2 does not. I've fixed that, but you should make use that you initialize 
msvc via

using msvc : 7.1 ;

i.e. explicitly specifying version number. The fix is only enabled when V2 
knows for sure we're working with 7.1.

Thanks,
