VC7 + STLPort (and other assorted questions)

Is there any way to force boost to build using VC7 and STLPort? I 
tried the obvious (settings TOOLS=msvc-stlport, and setting 
MSVC_DIR=<path to VC7>), but I got a ton of compiler errors that way.

I ask because VC6 + STLPort 4.5.3 has some serious issues with the 
the VC6 compiler, causing internal compiler errors (very bad :P).

Also, I keep hearing mention of a way to build the boost libs from 
inside the VC IDE (and the ability to build them for static linking), 
but I can't find project files, or a Jam option to build static. What 
am I missing?

This is all Boost 1.28.0.
