Subject: [Boost-build] bjam rule message unknown in module Jamfile /boost_1_37_0/libs/graph/build

Using a new machine (Vista Sp1 and VS2008) I have been able to build using
several jamfiles from Boost 1.37, trunk and sandbox.

But quite a few items won't build thus (for example):

I:\Boost_sandbox\math_toolkit\libs\math\example>bjam

\boost_1_37_0\libs\math\example

And \boost_trunk\libs\math\example

Both build OK.

I've not been able to see what is the feature the failures have in common.

The same modules build OK using

Nor, despite trying some of the debug options, what I am doing wrong.

Suggestions - please!
