 I just tried that as a top level argument to bjam for 1.38.0 and it
 apparently no longer exists.  Perhaps that is what you meant by 'used to
 be', but I wasn't certain.

 What was the rationale for removing it?  Can it be added back in?  Is that
 a better approach than the patch I suggested?  I think it is, as it is a
 positive statement (install this) not a negative one (install everything
 but this).
