I've put the Boost files into our Subversion repository. I suspect that 
what I'm seeing may be caused by the install routine doing a directory 
copy here where everywhere else it does a file copy? It's not a big 
problem - just got to remember to delete it before putting the build 
into Subversion.

I'm also getting the problem that dhruva describes (I'm testing a branch 
for a new feature that uses the threads lib). I solved it by altering 
line 131 of auto_link.hpp to this (showing lines 130 & 131):

    // vc71:
#  define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc"

I'm still running tests, but nothing has died horribly so far. All the 
basic regression tests work fine and we're about to try to install onto 
a development web server to do some sanity tests, just make sure that 
pages appear as they should.
