I have just taken the latest CVS snapshot and tried the above without the 
Python support for now. I am getting:

bash-2.05b$ bjam --v2 -n
warning: Python location is not configured
warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

A similar thing happens if I use my user-config.jam file in the c:/devel 
directory:

bash-2.05b$ bjam --v2 -n msvc-7.1
