Apparantly, the jam on the release does'nt take my flag -sBOOST_ROOT=... into 
account apparantly. I just tried following with the linux prebuilt and an 
exec recompiled from the sources :

So first I just try to use bjam on my project, though specifying where boost 
is located :
poisson:/home/tk/roaming/dev/femtown >bjam 
-sBOOST_ROOT=/home/tk/roaming/dev/boost
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from /home/tk/roaming/dev/femtown up to the root

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Next, I try first to export BOOST_ROOT but I stil fail.

poisson:/home/tk/roaming/dev/femtown >export 
BOOST_ROOT=/home/tk/roaming/dev/boost
poisson:/home/tk/roaming/dev/femtown >bjam
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from /home/tk/roaming/dev/femtown up to the root

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

Looking at the error message, jam first searched up to the root of my project 
but never goes to BOOST_ROOT ;( This worked fine a week ago ?
