I'm trying to understand the problem by deciphering:

http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/boost-build.jam?rev=39081

However, I see that file has:

     $(.boost-build-file:D)/../boost

yet I see no definition of .boost-build-file.  Would you
please explain what that is.  I'm guessing it's simply
the absolute filename of the boost-build.jam file; however,
I couldn't find any boost.build documentation supporting
that conclusion.  Also, that conclusion seems wrong
because that would mean $(.boost-build-file:D)/../boost
would be pointing to the wrong directory since the
reflective boost header files are in the boost directory
directly below where boost-build.jam is located.
