i got further with

  bjam --without-mpi --layout=system link=static threading=single variant=release

the libraries get built and put in stage/lib, but seem to be unusable:

link.exe /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:..\..\boost_1_45_0\stage\lib /OUT:initest-static.exe initest-static.o libiniphile.a libboost_unit_test_framework.lib
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_45.lib'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Bin\link.exe"' : return code '0x450'
Stop.

why is it looking for boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_45.lib when i requested

1. non-tagged filenames
2. non-thread-safe libraries

?
