[boost] [function_types] [wave] Build problems (trac #1100)

I hit two difficulties when building Boost from SVN-trunk.  They are 
related to trac ticket #1100, and I tried adding some comments to it, but 
my changes yielded Internal Error "Submission rejected as potential spam".

Here's the issue and workarounds:

The file <boost>/libs/function_types/build/Jamfile.v2, contains the 
offending 'chdir'.  When 'chdir' is changed to 'cd', the build still fails 
on line 2.

Things finally build correctly with a
