I have now installed:
http://mordred.cs.ucla.edu/STLport_DMC/
STLport-4.6.2 that I hope gets rid of issues of "Old".

My command line is now this monstrosity:

bjam "-sTOOLS=dmc-stlport" "-sDMC_ROOT=C:\DM" 
"-sSTLPORT_PATH=C:\DM\STLport-4.6.2" 
"-sBUILD<sysinclude>C:\DM\STLport-4.6.2" "-sIC:\DM\STLport-4.6.2"

Still can not find "utility", but at least this time I understand why:

dmc-C++-action 
bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\dmc-stlport\debug\greg_month.obj 
-cpp -c -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -D_STLP_DEBUG=1 
-D_STLP_DEBUG_UNINITIALIZED=1 -D_STLP_USE_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 -g -S -o+none -Ae 
-Ar -ND -I"bin\boost\libs\date_time\build" 
-I"C:\DM\STLport-4.6.2\STLport-4.6.2\stlport" -I"C:\Boost_1_32_0" 
-o"bin\boost\libs\date_time\build\boost_date_time.dll\dmc-stlport\debug\greg_month.obj" 
"C:\Boost_1_32_0\libs\date_time\build\../src/gregorian/greg_month.cpp"

Note this one in the above:
-I"C:\DM\STLport-4.6.2\STLport-4.6.2\stlport"

If I do not set "-sSTLPORT_PATH=C:\DM\STLPORT-4.6.2" bjam complains that 
it is not set,
when I do set it, it becomes recursive. What are the magic words I need 
to make bjam
happy and really use the directories that I tell it to use?

I could recursively copy STLport-4.6.2 but that seems kind of silly.

Also DM really wants STLport in "STLport" not "STLport-4.6.2", where bjam
seems to want it. I can probably set up an XP junction (symbolic link)
to solve that problem.

Yahoo ate your "attached toolset" can you try again please?
