There's no switch yet. I think that since printing root is for 
troubleshooting, we should not include it to --version output.

There's --debug-configuration switch, which so far interpreted by msvc.jam 
only and tell where it find compiler.

Maybe, the same switch can cause Boost.Build to print where it found 
boost-build.jam and directory from where Boost.Build is loaded? What do you 
think?
