[C++-sig] 2 Problems in build

[David LeBlanc]

I gather that mpl is something that is newly needed, since I didn't have it
a week ago when I last built Boost from CVS source.

I'm not able to find the exact information I used to decide which env vars
to set and i've also erased and reinstalled my build tree from CVS as of
yesterday, but iirc, they where JAM_TOOLSET=VISUALC and
VISUALC=/path/to/visualstudio/vc98. From the info put up by jam during a
build attempt and reading the relevent .jam files, I also figured out that
python_root and python_version are needed to be set as well. BTW, the
current build instructions on
http://www.boost.org/tools/build/index.html#Building don't mention either of
the python variables.
