So I download boost 1.33.1.zip, extracted it (to let's call it 
BOOST_DIST), downloaded and extracted bjam.exe to that folder, opened a 
command shell, cd'd to BOOST_DIST, did

bjam --with-test "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1"

and everything worked. Note that you only need the auto-unit-test 
library from boost so the with-test makes bjam build only that and 
nothing else. Don't have vc6 but I doubt it would be any different. Can 
you capture your console output and post it?

ps. now you know why I want to avoid boost dependency :)
