bjam is building the libraries for ;
del /f /q "stage\lib\libboost_regex-vc90-s.lib" 
copy "stage\lib\libboost_regex-vc90-s-1_34_1.lib" 
"stage\lib\libboost_regex-vc90-s.lib"    

correctly, and they are in the temp/build-boost directory.

But the compiler is looking for;

libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib(instances.obj) : error LNK2019: 
unresolved external symbol

Shouldn't it be looking for the vc90 version?
