As it turns out, I've never used bjam, except to build Boost itself.  I 
suspect you need another "requirements" line with the opencv libraries, 
but I'm not sure of the syntax.  Hopefully someone else can help you 
with that.

There's no requirement that Boost.Python projects use bjam, however, and 
if you're already more comfortable with another build system you might 
find it easier to use that.  Python's own distutils can work well for 
simple modules as well.
