One should be able to test a sandbox library within its own sandbox 
directory. I think it is a fault of the Boost Build system that it does 
not automatically place the compiler include flag for the sandbox 
library before the compiler include flag for a Boost distribution when 
executing the compiler's command line and BOOST_ROOT ( or BOOST ) points 
to a Boost distribution.
