Comment:

 I am not sure this is the right solution. I plan soonish, you'll have two
 options:

 1. Install Boost.Build (either from a standalone package, installer, or
 Boost SVN checkout) to a system location, and then "bjam" will
 automagically find Boost.Build files, no setup required, or

 2. You'd build bjam with "./boostrap.{bat,sh}" and then add Boost root to
 your PATH, and again, Boost.Build will be found automagically.

 Will those options work for you?
