     Let's pretend I am new to Boost and would like to build boost on  
Windows XP using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I would like to build  
JUST the filesystem, iostreams, thread, program_options and test  
libraries. I would also just like the Multi-Threaded, Static libraries  
linked dynamically to the c runtime. What exactly would I use for the  
arguments to bjam? I have tried a bunch of combinations and just end  
up with bjam errors. On OS X I finally just hacked the configure file  
to get what I wanted but I am at a loss as to how to do this on  
Windows XP.

  I am sure this comes up a bunch so I took a look through the  
boost.build documentation, boost.org documentation, getting started  
and nothing really lays out what the proper arguments are.

I tried variations on the following:

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc --with-test --with-filesystem --with- 
program_options --with-iostreams --with-threads --release --prefix=C: 
\Developer\Toolkits\Boost -build-type=release,debug <threading>multi  
<link>static <runtime-link>shared install

Thanks for any help
