Thanks a lot for this. 
I have a quick question - I would like to build the static library and
not the DLL. 
Could you tell me what should be changed in the project apart form the
"General->static lib"? 

Do you know how to disable the auto-link of boost? 

Many thanks for help,

Pshemek

Kind regards

[Nat] Yes, using the IDE, we made new VC 7.1 projects, which I've
attached for you to review & modify to suit your own needs. (There's
already a libs/python/build/VisualStudio/boost_python.dsp file, which we
loaded into VC 7.1, implicitly converting it to .vcproj.) We created
them in 

libs/filesystem/build
libs/signals/build
libs/python/build/VisualStudio

under the Boost main directory. (It's important to know where we put the
.vcproj files because we use .. in the projects' include paths. We do
that because the project file is checked into our version control
system, and we want people to be able to check out multiple copies in
different locations on their own machine and build each of them
independently.)

The include paths reference $(STLPORTDIR), which you must set in the
environment. boost_python.vcproj additionally references $(PYTHONDIR),
which you must likewise set.

[Nat] It's a standard procedure for when bjam produces build errors and
you don't even WANT to learn enough about its idiosyncrasies to try to
coax it. :-)
