Yes, I am successfully using STLPort with Boost. I built Boost with:

set
include=C:\root\Development\Library\STLport\STLport-5.2.1\stlport;%include%
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\root\Development\Library\zlib\include
set LIBPATH=%LIBPATH%;C:\root\Development\Library\zlib\lib
set ZLIB_BINARY=zdll
..\bjam --toolset=msvc stdlib=stlport "stdlib:stlport-iostream=on"

The documentation for building iostreams isn't great, but it says there's a
NO_ZLIB variable that defaults to 1 to Windows. It doesn't say, where this
is - do I need to change some config somewhere?
