    Yes, Boost.Python is difficult to use and the documentation isn't 
that clear. I've pretty much given up for now but I do have a project 
called SinkWorld that works with Boost.Python. You can access the CVS at
http://scintilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/scintilla/sinkworld/
    and the jam config files are in the tentacle/python directory as
http://scintilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/scintilla/sinkworld/tentacle/python/Jamfile?revision=1.6&view=markup
http://scintilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/scintilla/sinkworld/tentacle/python/boost-build.jam?revision=1.2&view=markup
http://scintilla.cvs.sourceforge.net/scintilla/sinkworld/tentacle/python/Jamrules?revision=1.2&view=markup
