Both have the same root cause -- no way to turn off these build checks. If
the checks are not needed there is no need to import Boost.Config and
assume its location too.

P.S. I do not understand how to reply in the Boost mailing lists, please do
not blame me if the message went to the wrong thread, I expressed my
frustration about that previously, Boost needs to upgrade its Mailman to v3.
