"Unresolved externals" building MSVC 6.0 boost_1_30_0

When trying to build boost_1_30_0 as follows:

vcvars32.bat
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc"

I get some link errors:

cpp_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl
cpp_main(i
nt,char * * const)" (?cpp_main@@YAHHQAPAD_at_Z)
test_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl
test_main
(int,char * * const)" (?test_main@@YAHHQAPAD_at_Z)
unit_test_main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class
boost::uni
t_test_framework::test_suite * __cdecl init_unit_test_suite(int,char * *
const)"

(?init_unit_test_suite@@YAPAVtest_suite_at_unit_test_framework_at_boost@@HQAPAD_at_Z)

And the tool finishes telling me these not so great news:

...failed updating 12 targets...

Well I'm new but after spending two days trying to work out what the heck
goes on, I'm none the wiser!
