I tried to build regex library and failed due to --a compiler option. This 
option disables some (not all) msvc-derived compiler extensions required to 
digest Windows headers. Example error (from bjam output) below:

     "como" --vc7 -c -e5 --no_version --no_prelink_verbose 
--display_error_number --long_long --diag_suppress=9,21,161,748,940,962 
-D__STL_LONG_LONG  -DBOOST_REGEX_CONFIG_INFO=1 -DBOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA=1 --a 
-DBOOST_COMO_STRICT=1 --no_inlining /Zi /Od -D_WIN32 -D_MT --exceptions 
-DBOOST_DISABLE_WIN32 --wchar_t -I"..\bin\boost\libs\regex\test\captures" 
-I"E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost" -I"E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost" -o 
"..\bin\boost\libs\regex\test\captures\libboost_regex_extra.lib\como-4_3_3-vc7\debug\threading-multi\c_regex_traits.obj" 
"E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost\libs\regex\test\captures\../../src/c_regex_traits.cpp"

"E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost\boost/detail/interlocked.hpp", line 98: error #20:
           identifier "dllimport" is undefined
   extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) long __stdcall InterlockedIncrement( long 
volatile * );
                         ^

 From what I can see, other libraries (filesystem, python, program options, 
test) are affected as well. This would explain why linker fails. I will 
publish ziped bjam output later, when bjam is finished running in status 
directory.
