Yes. What confused me was that external (non boost) projects look 
in BOOST_BUILD_PATH, wherever it might be, but boost itself seems to 
ignore BOOST_BUILD_PATH and go straight for tools/build. Probably 
I'm missing something simple here.

How do I do this?

Surely I've just got something misconfigured. I am able to build it 
with gcc/cygwin BTW.
