[Boost-build] [BBv2] Why no --builddir option

Hi,

is there any specific reason as for why BBv1's "--builddir" option is not
supported for BBv2? I've asked this in the context of another thread
recently, but I guess the question kind of disappeared.

Is this just an oversight, or a deliberate decision? If I invoke
"bjam --v2 --help" I still get "--builddir" listed as an valid option. (Now,
please don't just remove the option from the help text output ;-)

It sure would be nice to have the option for the 1.34 release.
