[Boost-users] Using boost on msvc, having bjam link trouble with simple build

Mostly a bjam question: With bjam the link command is not finding the 
boost libs...I need help with the build setup:

I built successfully and headers & libs are in C:\Boost...

/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost/...
/Boost/lib/...

I'm running Boost.Build from the boost-build-2.0-m11.tar.bz2 in 
c:\boost-build

In building a small Boost.Threads app I get

% bjam
...patience...
...found 258 targets...
...updating 2 targets...
compile-c-c++ bin\msvc\debug\CreateThread.obj
CreateThread.cpp
msvc.link bin\msvc\debug\CreateThread.exe
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'libboost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib'
...updated 2 targets...

My boost-build.jam is

boost-build c:\\boost-build ;

and my Jamroot is

project
    : requirements <include>c:/Boost/include/boost-1_33_1
    ;
exe CreateThread : CreateThread.cpp ;
