OK, I;m not getting very far with this, am I?

Presumably there must be a bzillion people who have properly built 1_33_1
with VC 7.1; but it doesn't seem like they can have followed the directions
on the getting started page -- either that, or they are better at
interpreting some of the vaguenesses on that page than I am.

So one more, here is what I have done:

0. Placed bjam.exe in my PATH.

1. Downloaded and unzipped 1_33_1.

2. Run c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat

3. cd to the main 1_33_1 directory (the one that contains configure,
jamfile and about a dozen other files).

4. Execute bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1".

5. Result:

Jamfile:197: in load-jamfiles
*** argument error
* rule install-subinclude ( jamfiles + : options * )
* called with: (  :  )
* missing argument jamfiles
C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools/build/v1\boost-base.jam:2855:see definition of
rule
'install-subinclude' being called
C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools\build\v1\bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build
C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\boost-build.jam:16: in module scope

6. It seems to be complaining about a missing argument that should be a
filename of some kind. But what argument am I missing?
