I'm basically waiting to see what boost.build.v2 does with these before

>make generates a full set of libs, but bjam does not, why?

With bjam you need to tell it which runtime variants you want:

bjam -sTOOLS=vc7 -sBUILD="release <runtime-link>static <threading>multi"

etc.

Ask their authors :-)
