yes, sorry I didn't spot that earlier, I'd thought of pasting my .bat file 
that works for me, but (too lazy I guess).
one thing I've noticed tho (here's my build line):
bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1 install >bjaminstall.log
is that I seem to get two copies of every .lib, one with and one withOUT 
the version  for example:
2004-02-12  01:43           837,844 libboost_date_time-vc71-sgd.lib
2004-02-12  01:43           837,844 libboost_date_time-vc71-sgd-1_31.lib
2004-02-12  01:43           839,466 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-sgd-1_31.lib
2004-02-12  01:43           839,466 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-sgd.lib
2004-02-12  01:44         1,054,482 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd.lib
2004-02-12  01:44         1,054,482 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_31.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           329,034 libboost_date_time-vc71-s-1_31.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           329,034 libboost_date_time-vc71-s.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           330,816 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-s.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           330,816 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-s-1_31.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           369,602 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt.lib
2004-02-12  01:44           369,602 libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-1_31.lib

I'm not quite sure what's causing that, and although I argued against 
putting the versions in the names, once the "auto link" started 
functioning, my arguments no longer applied.

if there were only one copy of each, all of the "installed boost" would fit 
nicely on my 128meg USB "disk", unfortunately, it's a little large w/ two 
of each lib or dll
