The command you've got will try to build libraries for gcc, not VC++,
and so will fail (as you've got VC++, not gcc!). Use this command
instead

bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" install

This will build the libraries and copy them to sub-directories under
c:\boost. Use 'Search' in explorer to find the correct directories to
use in Visual Studio.
