That should read: "Do not instantiate the main preprocessing iterators
yourself."
I meant, that the iterators used to get back the preprocessed tokens should
not be instantiated directly.

Sure they have, haven't they? I'm pretty sure that I've added V1 Jamfile's.
But thanks for reporting the V2 problems. Please add the line
: <toolset>vc-7_1:<rtti>off # workaround for compiler bug
to the V2 Jamfile's, without that VC7.1 simply fails - please look at the V2
Jamfile of the library itself for a sample
($BOOST_ROOT/libs/wave/build/Jamfile.v2).

This was reported already by Larry Evans, please change this line to:
$(BOOST_ROOT)/boost/program_options//boost_program_options
Yeah seems, the Jamfile.v2 files in the archive are completely broken, but
that's because I'm mainly working with V1 files, so this sneaked in
unnoticed...

This is a linker error regarding the Boost inspect tool!? I have no clue
what to do about this.
HTH
