[Boost-build] Very strange BoostBook -> PDF problem

On cygwin, I went to libs/thread/doc and invoked:

  $ bjam --v2 --debug-generators pdf
  warning: Python location is not configured
  warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built
  Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
  Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
  (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).
  warning: no toolsets are configured.
  warning: you won't be able to build C++ programs.
  warning: please consult the documentation.

       *** construct BOOSTBOOK

       there are generators for this type
       trying generator doxygen.xml-to-boostbook ( DOXYGEN_XML -> BOOSTBOOK )
         is viable
       ***  1  viable generators

  there are generators for this type
  trying generator doxygen.xml-to-boostbook ( DOXYGEN_XML -> BOOSTBOOK )

  To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option.

Anyone have a clue?
