I think you just need to follow directions more carefully. No toolset
responds to MSVC_DIR.

See http://www.boost.org/tools/build/msvc-tools.html#configuration
and http://www.boost.org/tools/build/msvc-stlport-tools.html

One other suggestion:

Try starting with just the msvc toolset, to make sure you have the
configuration for that right.
Then, if you want to use msvc-stlport, add the additional configuration for
that.
