First of all, I'd suggest you use the current version of Boost.Build V2, which 
can be found at the "nightly build" link at http://boost.org/boost-build2, or 
in the CVS.

With that in place, run bjam with the extra --debug-configuration option. You 
should see something like:

   notice: Python include path is <path>

Make sure that the patch in question has the Python header files that are 
reported as missing ('pyconfig.h', for example).

If the path above contains the right headers, make sure that the command line 
includes the right -I option. When bjam fails to compiler a file it will 
print the failed command, so you can look at it.

If the path above does not contain the right headers, look around to see where 
they are in reality, and tell me what path is used by Boost.Build, and what 
path should be used.
