David-

When you asked me to run the following lines:
     bjam -f-  "-sTOOLS=mingw" install
     ECHO $(TOOLS) ;
     ^Z
I see the following:
     bjam -f-  "-sTOOLS=mingw" install
(hundreds of lines of error text go by here)

     ECHO $(TOOLS) ;
reply is:
        sh: ./TOOLS: is a directory

...and nothing is displayed after entering ctrl-Z   :)

The reply to ECHO $(TOOLS) ; seems odd. I doubt that this is what you were
expecting. There *is* a 'tools' directory under boost_1_31_0, but not a
'TOOLS' directory. Case-sensitivity issues?

I have also run the following:
     bjam -d+5 "-sTOOLS=mingw" install > bug.out

Note that not everything is captured in 'bug.out'. I see hundreds of lines
of the following on the console:
     The system cannot find the path specified.
This is not surprising as I don't have VC7 installed.

Unfortunately I don't have a place to publicly park the compressed 'bug.out'
file so I will email it directly to you. However, here's the first few lines
if that's of any help.

(BEGIN LISTING===============)

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

couldn't find Python.h in "c:/tools/python/include"

You can configure the location of your python installation by setting:
PYTHON_ROOT    - currently "c:/tools/python"
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
                          "c:/tools/python/libs"

(SNIP============== as this error apparently occurs for every single file)
