Hm, i just tried to build the guid lib. Here is what i did.
(current boost from cvs + guid_v5.zip from vault)

1) Start msvc command prompt (Start/Programs/Microsoft VS 
XXX/Tools/Visual Studio XXX Tools/Visual Studio XXX Command Prompt)
2) set BOOST_ROOT = X:\path_to_boost
3) set BOOST_BUILD_PATH = X:\path_to_boost\tools\build\v2
3) cd into x:\path_of_guid_lib\libs\guid\build
4) bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 link=static

bjam now builds Boost.Serialization + Boost.Threads + the guid library.

I had to use link=static, because there was an error building the 
wserialization.dll's,
and i don't have time to figure out why now.

But i hope this works for you, too.
