OK, that was the information I was missing, I think it needs to be a bit 
clearer in the tutorial here: 
http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/bbv2/extender/example.html

However, while that gets me a little further forward, I'm still stuck.

Let's say I have:

import testing ;
import cu ;
cuda = [ modules.peek : CUDA_PATH ] ;

lib cuda : : <search>$(cuda)/lib/x64 ;

run erf_double.cu cuda  : : : release <toolset>msvc:<runtime-link>static ;

Now I see:

warn: Unable to construct ./cuda

And indeed no reference to cuda.lib is present on the link command line 
so I get unresolved externals.  Any ideas why "lib cuda ;" isn't accepted?

Thanks, John.
