Errors building boost w/ VC++ 6.0 sp5

From: Michael H. Cox (yg-boost-users_at_[hidden])

I downloaded boost_1_30_0.zip, unpacked the zip file, cd'ed into
boost_1_30_0, and ran "bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc".  Most of the library seemd to
compile fine (Python was skipped since I didn't have it installed).  Bjam
failed to update 12 targets, skipped 12 targets (the same 12 that failed?),
and updated 452 targets.  The error messages at the end were:
