Boost-Build :

No time to explain everything right now, but I've just gotten through
rationalizing the load behavior a bit. In particular, the old one used to
demand that the user have a boost-build.jam, which would then load the
system's boost-build.jam, which caused all kinds of confusion because it
would sometimes look in the boost-build path for the user's file and find
the system's file instead. The system's file is aptly renamed to
bootstrap.jam. I added tests to the test directory. Run all tests now with

python test_all.py

Testing is dog-slow; I'm not sure why.
