Well, then  this error disappears. But calling "b2 headers" from BOOST_ROOT 
finds no targets. 
I simply give up on this. As a (mostly) happy user, I never bothered to dive 
into the b2 porcelain layer. And I can simply not free the necessary time for 
building a working mental model of the whole internal workings at this point.

But as the conversion seems to stopped and/or broken (again), this doesn't 
matter...

Yes, my fault. The Windows tests show the compile output and are hard to read.
