In your user-config.jam file, I see you have something like this:

using msvc : evc8 :
     "D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" :
     <compileflags>-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
     ...

If you change your version parameter to:

using msvc : 8.0~evc :
     "D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" :
     <compileflags>-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
     ...

Does that have any effect?  I seem to remember that Boost.Build is picky 
about the formatting of that version parameter (but I could be 
mis-remembering).
