yeah, this is a known feature of msvc 8.0+ : You can't build 
single-threaded apps because the compiler ships without a 
single-threaded runtime :-((
This is hardcoded into msvc for ABI reasons, I doubt that such a program 
would be runable. Take a look at the archives for the exact reasons for 
this decision.
If you are annoyed by the "threading-multi" path element, add

import feature ;
feature.set-default threading : multi ; 

to your user-config.jam.

It would be best to rebuild Boost after that ;-))

Yours,

Jürgen
