As stated previously, I successfully used Boost.Build V2 M6 to build 
a project that uses my own library successfully. However, now, I'm 
trying to use the Boost library too (i.e., date_time, fs). But, it 
seems that the Boost Build uses the Jamfile in the specified library 
and those Jamfile are for Boost.Build V1. I thought invoking bjam --
v2 might do trick, but it didn't select Jamfile.v2. I tried the most 
recent Boost.Build (M7) too but to no avail.

Is there any variable(s) that I can set to use Boost libraries 
Jamfile.v2?

I exported BOOST_ROOT to my env, but it seems that bjam no longer 
have BOOST_ROOT defined when it is running. Why is this so?

[cplim_at_enlnxs t]$ cat Jamfile
ECHO $(BOOST_ROOT) ;
[cplim_at_enlnxs t]$ bjam

...found 1 target...
[cplim_at_enlnxs t]$ env | grep BOO
BOOST_BUILD_PATH=/ennfs/csc/cscgrd/cplim/boost/tools/boost-build
BOOST_ROOT=/ennfs/csc/cscgrd/cplim/boost
