[Boost-build] Building 1.34 with vc8 & stlport

Hi

I've been struggling for a while now to get vc8, boost and stlport to behave 
well together - but now moving to 1.34 I don't even know where to start.

I've searched through documents and web pages all over the place, but 
regardless of what I try either the boost build dies or I get a bunch of 
libraries without stlport support (i.e. all libs named without the 'p'). 
Amongst other things I've tried editing user-config.jam, old command lines 
from 1.33.1, passing bjam -toolset=msvc-stlport, and variations on the 
"using msvc : 8.0s : <stdlib>stlport ;" suggested by Dave Abrahams prior to 
the official release of 1.34 - about the only useful reference to this topic 
I could find.

Adding "stdlib=stlport" to the commandline seems to give the 'p' library 
names, but the files still use the vc std lib (as can be seen by linking 
errors with my projects and by looking at the lib/dll exports in the IDE 
(and instances of "std" rather than "stlp_std")).

So, assuming I just want a default 1.34 build in vc8, except with STLPort 
support what should I be doing?

I'm probably just missing something really obvious (it.s always the way), 
but it's starting to drive me crazy!

Thanks for advance for any help (and apologies if I've posted to the wrong 
place or recovered old ground).
