  This should correspond to the following command line:

     1. bjam "-sBUILD=debug <runtime-link>dynamic <threading>multi" "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1"
     2. bjam "-sBUILD=release <runtime-link>dynamic <threading>multi" "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" 

  This gives two batch files:

      * zbuilddebug.zip
      * zbuildrelease.zip 

Seems to state very clearly that the commands will "give two batch
files."  I'm afraid your instructions will cause everything to be
built twice.
