Completely.

C:\home\boost>set BOOST_ROOT
Environment variable BOOST_ROOT not defined

C:\home\boost>jam -ftools/build/allyourbase.jam
...found 614 targets...
...updating 24 targets...
msvc-C++-action 
libs\thread\build\bin\libboost_thread\msvc\debug\runtime-link-dy
namic\threading-multi\condition.obj
condition.cpp
msvc-C++-action 
libs\thread\build\bin\libboost_thread\msvc\debug\runtime-link-dy
namic\threading-multi\mutex.obj
mutex.cpp
etc.

Three things to note here:

1)  I'm not posting all of the environment here since there's some 
things that are sensitive for security reasons.  If you want the full 
listing from a set command I can e-mail it to you privately, but the 
important thing is shown above... BOOST_ROOT is not defined.

2)  I'm using codebase pulled from CVS sometime earlier today and not 
codebase from the latest boostall.zip.  I don't think this makes any 
difference, but I'm mentioning just in case you have made recent 
changes to Boost.Build that somehow effect this.

3)  Boost.Regex doesn't compile here because I can't run "clean" on 
it.  Attempting to do so results in the following output:

C:\home\boost>jam -ftools/build/allyourbase.jam clean
...found 1 target...
...updating 1 target...
Clean clean

I am, however, able to clean Boost.Threads by running the command in 
the libs/thread/build directory (this doesn't work for Boost.Regex 
for the same reasons).  Yet one more thing to try and fix with Jam 
here :(.
