Changing it to

That changes the result but doesn't entirely solve the problem.

adding --boost=i:\modular-boost finds the licence text OK, but then gives

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
I:\boost-sandbox\guild\boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking
   'boost-build I:\modular-boost\tools\build ;'
but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching I:\modular-boost\tools\build).

which is because it does not contain this file "bootstrap.jam" (and nor does i:\modular-boost)

???

Does this need changing too (to avoid adding --boost=I:\modular-boost)

local boost-src = [ if-has-file LICENSE_1_0.txt :
    [ MATCH --boost=(.*) : $(ARGV) ]
    $(BOOST)
    $(.boost-build-file:D)/../modular-boost/boost  <<<<<<<<<< would this be right?
    $(.boost-build-file:D)/../boost
    $(.boost-build-file:D)/../Trunk
    ] ;

Thanks again.
