 On linux, installing boost build using `bjam install --prefix=~/boost/env`
 installs to a subdirectory called `~`, typically `boost/tools/build/v2/~`.
 I guess that normally such paths are expanded by the shell so bjam doesn't
 have to deal with them, but because '--prefix=~/boost/env' appears to be a
 single argument that didn't happen. Would it be possible to support this?
