Hugo,

That feature is compiled into the new Jambase file in the Jam sources. If
you invoke Jam with BOOST_ROOT set, it should set BOOST_BUILD_PATH
automatically. The very first code in Jambase reads:

if $(BOOST_ROOT)
{
    BOOST_BUILD_PATH ?= $(BOOST_ROOT)/tools/build ;
}

if $(BOOST_BUILD_PATH)
{
    JAMBASE ?= boost-build.jam ;
}

if $(JAMBASE)
{
    JAMBASE = $(JAMBASE:G=jam-module) ; # puts the Jambase target in a
different
                                        # namespace from other targets so
that
                                        # it doesn't collide.
    SEARCH on $(JAMBASE) = $(JAMBASE_PATH) $(BOOST_BUILD_PATH) ;
    include $(JAMBASE) ;
}
else
{
