Well the reason all of Filesystem's configure checks fail, even those that ought
to succeed, is

C:\teeks99-09\run\boost_root\libs\filesystem\src\platform_config.hpp(74): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/winapi/config.hpp': No such file or directory

The reason 'boost/winapi/config.hpp' isn't found is because the corresponding
header symlink in $BOOST_ROOT/boost isn't created, for some reason.

I can reproduce the failure when I delete my boost/ subdirectory, and when I
recreate it with `b2 headers`, I can un-reproduce it.

b2 is supposed to create these header symlinks as it goes, though; the explicit
`b2 headers` is generally unnecessary. Something must have changed to throw
it off, I'm not sure what.
