You can also put you custom site-config.jam or user-config.jam in 
user-specific or site-specific location, as documented at:

http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~ghost/Boost.Build.docs/bbv2.reference.init.html

The versions placed in those directories will override any builtin versions. 
For example, I have 'user-config.jam' in /home/ghost directory on Linux and 
on "H:" drive on Windows (I've set the HOME environment variable to be "H:")

HTH,
