[Boost-build] Using boost on msvc, having bjam link trouble with simple build

I'm starting an app which will use boost. I'd like to move from make to 
bjam, but I'm still getting my head around boost.build.

Right now I'm stuck on a simple problem: With bjam the link command is 
not finding the boost libs...

I built boost successfully for vc-7_1. Headers headers & libs installed 
into C:\Boost...

/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/...
/Boost/lib/...

I'm running Boost.Build from the boost-build-2.0-m11.tar.bz2 in 
c:\boost-build

In building a small Boost.Threads app the linker is clearly not finding 
the libs:

% bjam
...patience...
...found 258 targets...
...updating 2 targets...
compile-c-c++ bin\msvc\debug\CreateThread.obj
CreateThread.cpp
msvc.link bin\msvc\debug\CreateThread.exe
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib'
...updated 2 targets...

In ./boost-build.jam I have:

boost-build c:\\boost-build ;

and in ./Jamroot:

project
   : requirements <include>c:/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1
   ;
exe CreateThread : CreateThread.cpp ;
