It's actually a bit more complicated than what Steven says. Somehow BB 
is failing to inherit the Boost Jamroot project (where that rule is 
defined) because there's an intervening libs/test/Jamfile.v2. Even 
though the Boost root project is fully loaded. So it is a BB bug, 
AFAWCT. And we are looking into it.
