Boost Build has to know where it is installed in order to find its core
jam files. The recommended way is to create boost-build.jam and put it
to /home/. The file should have just a single line in it:

boost-build libsrc/boost_cvs/boost/tools/build/v2/kernel ;

Change the path according to your Boost installation. Don't forget to
add / if you specify absolute path :)
