Volodya, thanks for the suggestion again.
Using the depends.exe tool from Microsoft I can see that the two missing DLLs my program needs are MSVCP80D.DLL and MSVCR80D.DLL. I'm guessing that Boost Build passes the path specified by <dll-path> in the PATH env variable and that the program itself doesn't look for these particular DLLs on the PATH. Manually adding the directory on the PATH, or even starting the program from the directory containing the DLLs also doesn't work.
By now this is well beyond the scope of Boost Build but I'd still want to get it working. Any ideas?
Emil, this is starting to get offtopic for the mail boost list. Can you write to boost-build@lists.boost.org? You don't need to subscribe, and can read via gmane. Please be sure to specify the output from depends.exe, and the exact error message you get. Also, are you by chance on a 64-bit system? There were reports about misterious failures to find debug runtime, which were only solved by reinstall of VC. - Volodya
