   I tried to reproduce your problem and your test case is not complete 
enough to run. :-( You did not specify where you are getting the 
boost_1_49_0 project from or anything else you might have in your 
user-config.jam/site-config.jam/project-config.jam configuration files.

   To get it working I modified your test case as follows:
     * Attached it to the current Boost trunk (library, Boost Jam & 
Boost Build used from there).
     * Added project-config.jam to define standalone configuration (no 
other user-config.jam or site-config.jam were used in my setup - you can 
test this with --debug-configuration).
     * Configured the contrib/boost.jam module for defining Boost targets.
     * Used msvc 9.0.
     * Changed your 'boost_1_49_0' name to '/boost' (project defined by 
contrib/boost.jam).

   The project built correctly, including all the needed Boost library 
targets.

   You can find the exact project structure packaged in the .zip archive 
attached to this post. Should be runnable 'as is' except for the 
project-config.jam configuration specifying the Boost library location 
and configuring the toolset you wish to use.

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
