---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 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.
