Any idea where to start debugging?  If I now give this command,

  D:\C++\Boost\Current>..\bjam.exe "-sTOOLS=gcc"

I get this output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration

couldn't find Python.h in "/cygwin//usr/local/pydebug/include/python2.2 
/cygwin//usr/local/pydebug/include/python2.2 /cygwin//usr/include/python2
.2 /cygwin//usr/include/python2.2 /usr/local/pydebug/include/python2.2 
/usr/local/pydebug/include/python2.2 /usr/include/python2.2 /usr/include/p
ython2.2 /usr/include"

You can configure the location of your python installation by setting:
PYTHON_ROOT    - currently "/usr"
PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version number (e.g.
                 "2.2", NOT "2.2.1")  - currently "2.2"

The following are automatically configured from PYTHON_ROOT if not
otherwise set:

    PYTHON_LIB_PATH       - path to Python library object; currently
                          "/usr/libs"

    For detailed configuration of Boost.Python for Cygwin GCC
    under Windows NT please see
    http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html

...found 2012 targets...

Notice that it doesn't seem to actually build anything.  I assume that this
is because it's detecting that everything is already built, but I don't
know.

Thanks,
