Search paths for configuration files

On linux we search /etc for the site-config.jam. Doesn't something
under /usr/local (maybe /usr/local/etc) seem like it should be
searched too?

On all systems we search $BOOST_BUILD_PATH. But the build system may
not be installed in $BOOST_BUILD_PATH (because its location is
specified by boost-build.jam). Shouldn't we look in the build system
directory first?
