Hi, whitespace was an issue - thanks.

using this command:  bjam --with-regex stage msvc-9.0 didn't work, produced 
a lot of output
then appeared to skip everything for lack of stage\lib.

I tried this from the boost root

C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1> bjam ^
More? --build-dir=C:\temp\build-boost ^
More? --toolset=msvc-9.0 stage

this ground away for an age producing reams of output and finished  with the 
result attached.

Still don't seem to be there.

Thanks
Chris
