Andrea,

I had issues many years ago getting boost to build on windows with zlib &
bzip support. I wrote up the problems I had an the solution I found at the
time at stackoverflow (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4589935/boost-iostreams-with-bzip2-built-from-source-on-windows).
I'm not sure if this is still relevant, as a former coworker told me that
my instructions no longer worked on newer versions, but I was given no
detail, but maybe it could give you a starting point on how to get it to
work.

Regards,
Nate
