#4942: Searching for boost-build.jam

 Reporter:  eldiener              |       Owner:  grafik      
     Type:  Support Requests      |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined      |   Component:  bjam        
  Version:  Boost 1.45.0          |    Severity:  Optimization
 Keywords:  bjam boost-build.jam  |  
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Upon invocation bjam should also look for boost-build.jam in the Boost
 tree specified by the --boost=/path/to/Boost option if it can not find it
 anywhere else in its normal search path.

 This would allow any Boost-like library, using the directory structure
 suggested by the sandbox, to have its jamfiles execute properly even if it
 were not located within a Boost tree or beneath a top-level directory with
 its own boost-build.jam, as long as the bjam command had a
 --boost/path/to/Boost option pointing to a Boost distribution.
