I tried that, it produced the following output:

bjam.exe release --runtime-link=static --with-program_options

Building C++ Boost.

After the build, the headers will be located at

    C:\Documents and Settings\lfrench\Desktop\MADCAT\atg-madcat-dev\im_nav\projects\madcat\third-party-software\boost_1_39_0

The libraries will be located at

    C:\Documents and Settings\lfrench\Desktop\MADCAT\atg-madcat-dev\im_nav\projects\madcat\third-party-software\boost_1_39_0\stage\lib

Use 'bjam install --prefix=<path>' if you wish to install headers and
libraries to a different location and remove the source tree.

It doesn't appear to be using the correct filename.
