Sure enough, running depends on the boost dll shows MSVCP71D.DLL, 
MSVCR71D.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL, but no STLPORT!

I built boost with:
set STLPORT_PATH=C:\   (STLPort is in C:\STLport-4.6.2)
bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1-stlport" "-sBUILD=debug release" install

Is this not correct?  I don't get any errors indicating that it can't find 
STLPort.

Thanks,
Mike
