Boris,

could you consider using name that's not 'build2'? Given that Boost.Build 2 exists
for years, marketed by that name, and uses 'b2' as executable, it seems that
calling a similar product as 'build2' is bound to create confusion for users.
Hey, even the top-left of your web site just say 'b2'.

I don't suppose this confusion is intentional - if you are posting on a Boost mailing
list you probably is aware of the prior naming?
