Yes, it does, I neglected to mention that once the libraries and dll 
were build it moved them to the path listed above.

I appreciate the comment and duly noted, but in this instance it was 
only a path and I figured that the majority of it was irrelevant. But 
FYI this is the <cut> portion of the path.

C:\Users\William\Documents\Build Libraries\Boost

Also, I'm using Vista Business x64, Visual Studio 2008, v1.39.0 Boost 
Source for builds, and v3.1.17 of bjam.

Within my project's build settings I use the $(PlatformName) macro to 
set the appropriate path to the libraries thus:

C:\Users\William\Documents\Build Libraries\Boost\$(PlatformName)

with the x86 libraries in:

C:\Users\William\Documents\Build Libraries\Boost\Win32

and the x64 in:

C:\Users\William\Documents\Build Libraries\Boost\x64

Hope this helps.
