The first argument to the using mpi rule should be the location of  
the mpicxx script.  If it's located in

C:/Program Files/MPICH/SDK/Bin

then you just need to do this

using mpi
        : "C:/Program Files/MPICH/SDK/Bin/mpicxx"
        ;

for starters.  Note that the name of the mpi script might be mpiCC or  
mpic++, among other possibilities.
