So I'm still a bit confused. Does something actually need to be built along with boost, or at the bz2 and zlib stuff things that can be added in later?
If something needs to be built into boost, I could probably do that (I don't currently for MPI, but this sounds more generally useful). However, if this is just a matter of throwing windows binaries for bz2 and zlib in with a bunch of boost libraries, that doesn't seem right. Is there any documentation on this? I glanced around a bit but didn't see much.

My method is to download the source tarballs for zlib and bzip2, and then decompress them, but not build them. I then build boost with the following options on the bjam command line (assuming I decompressed them to the "C:\boost_aux" directory): -sZLIB_SOURCE="C:\boost_aux\zlib-1.2.5" -sBZIP2_SOURCE="C:\boost_aux\bzip2-1.0.6"
