Yes but that doesn't mean I have a solution !

I'm not sure, but I don't think that is a location where bjam will search
for and find user-config.jam ? See
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference.html#bbv2.reference.init.config
for the paths searched.

Having said that STLport appears to be getting included, so <shrug>, not
sure :-(
