Hi, 
I am trying to build the multi thread library for visual studio 2003. I
built the bjam exe and run the following.

bjam toolset=msvc-7.1 variant=debug threading=multi link=shared

but I am returned 

C:\boost>bjam toolset=msvc-7.1 variant=debug threading=multi link=shared
C:/boost/tools/build/v2/tools\msvc.jam:734: in configure-really
*** argument error

C:\boost\tools\build\v2\kernel\bootstrap.jam:138: in boost-build
C:\boost\boost-build.jam:18: in module scope

My bjam version is

C:\boost>bjam --version
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12)
Boost.Jam 03.1.17

and my boost library version is 1.38. My boost library is in c:\boost so no
spaces present in directory paths.

Thanks for any advice.
