hi
i am trying to build boost 1.51.0 with mpi (openmpi 1.6.1 x64) on
windows 7 x64 with mingw(gcc 4.7.0) and have some problems.

the first problem concerns the mpi-support, which i tried to enable by
'using mpi ;' in the user-config.jam. when i start the build, i get

The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler
D:/progs/OpenMPI_v1.6.1-x64/bin/mpicc

i tried to manually give the path to mpicc/mpic++ in the
user-config.jam, but that doesnt change the failed auto-detection. that
seems strange, because openmpi is explicitly mentioned in the getting
started docs. is that version too new to be recognized and do i need to
configure it manually? (how?)

the second problem is with python. i have activepython3.2 64bit
installed, and it is found during the build, but i get LOTS of

undefined reference to `__imp__PyEval_CallFunction'

and the like when building boost.python stuff. what can i do about that?
