That error might shed some light... It should always find that file! Could
you check to make sure your boost/tools/build directory is complete.

That looks like it's interpreting "<sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT)" as meaning...

    <sysinclude>/
    <sysinclude>cygdrive/
    <sysinclude>d/
    <sysinclude>boost/
    <sysinclude>develop/
    <sysinclude>boost/

Which is very confusing, because I can't see how that can happen. It doesn't
happen for me in Linux nor Windows. Anybody else encountering this problem?
Dave you have cygwin do you see this problem?

Even stranger :-\

Which version of bjam are you using? "bjam -v"
