OK, I think I understand now. You changed the BOOST_BUILD_PATH, or the 
boost-build.jam to use the current BBv2 to build with the Jamfile.v2 
files that come with Boost 1.33.1.

Well I'm not fond of adding the add-variant-and-compiler back because it 
means some code duplication that is prone to errors. Would it be 
possible for you to replace the Jamfile.v2 from 1.33.1 with the one from 
HEAD (and adjusting the version number)? -- Or the one from the 1.34 branch.
