I had to modify your test quite a bit, but I checked it into
libs/python/test/embedding.cpp, and the Jamfile now runs it. Thanks
for your contribution!

Unfortunately, I couldn't keep the "print" statements. Something about
running the test under NTEmacs (my usual setup) was suppressing all of
Python's output to stdout.

If you could write up a short HTML page in the documentation
describing what people need to know in order to embed Boost.Python
extensions, that would be hugely appreciated as well.

Thanks again,
