#2082: BOOST_BUILD_PATH isn't always respected

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
I've been trying out the Boost.Build system. I've struggled to get the
right settings for Apple's special GCC, and I think I mostly got them
right. The hello example at
"https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/example/hello"
worked, but the code I'm trying at
"https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/integer/test" didn't. (Both
are from a working copy set at revision 47170.) A major difference was
that the test directory run kept warning about no toolsets being found.
That led me to the answer, based on the fact that I'm using a
BOOST_BUILD_PATH shell variable to point where I'm keeping my "user-
config.jam" file. This setting overrides the search in the user's main
directory. As soon as I made a soft-link from my configuration file to my
home directory, the test directory run worked. This means that, somehow,
the Jam-file for the Boost.Integer tests, or a Jam-file higher in the
hierarchy, is ignoring the BOOST_BUILD_PATH setting.
