I think you need to include a 'project-root.jam' which tells boost
build to use the environment variable. I created an example of how a
sandbox library might be structured here:

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/example/

Although others might disagree with how I set it up. A little while
ago I noticed that someone else had the same idea before me, although
I haven't looked into it yet:
