Re: [Boost-build] TWO copies of bootstrap.sh

 The linux install seemed more straightforward than the windows install; I
got the former done quickly, but I keep hitting issues getting the windows
install done.  I am somewhat concerned that there is one copy of
bootstrap.sh in $BOOST_ROOT and another in $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build  Some
web posts suggest using the one in the root directory, while others suggest
using the one in tools/build.  Is there a difference in functionality?  Why
use one vs the other?
