What about the small change to build-system.jam (patch attached)?

It will check the environment variable BOOST_USER_CONFIG and will
take this as the path to the user config file. It can still be
overidden by --user-config= cmd line parameter.

And it will leave semantics of BOOST_BUILD_PATH untouched.

Btw.: I stumbled over the help.jam file. I believe this file
needs some maintanance. I cannot see e.g. any reference to
--user-config cmd line.
