I installed Boost using the Windows installer from 
http://softlayer-dal.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost-binaries/1.54.0/boost_1_54_0-msvc-10.0-64.exe;
 maybe that didn't come with source or something?  It only created 
\local\boost_1_54_0.  After running that installer I did still have to do the 
  bootstrap; .\b2 toolset=msvc
thing to get bjam.

And now that I look at that download URL, what Raghav says about using a 32-bit 
version might be more sensible; my python is stock 2.7.3 Windows 32-bit (not 
cygwin or anything weird) and I'm only looking to build extensions for a 32-bit 
python at this point.

I did download the source distribution, but it doesn't have a Jamfile in its 
root dir either.  Maybe I have to unpack it and run b2 to get that... I guess 
I'll try that next.
