Sigh, I really wish we hadn't made that change, but now bjam only builds a 
dll-release variant by default, which isn't much use when using MSVC in 
debug mode :-(

Use: bjam --build-type=complete install toolset=msvc

To build all the possible variants.

bjam --help

Will give you a full list of available options.
