[Boost-build] Recent changes to Boost.Build broke build on HP-UX

  Recent changed to Boost.Build broke build on HP-UX: in particular,
  the build fails to load user-config.jam pointed to by the
  BOOST_BUILD_USER_CONFIG env. variable.

  This is how I invoke the build:

export BOOST_BUILD_PATH=`pwd`
export BOOST_BUILD_USER_CONFIG=$BOOST_BUILD_PATH/user-config.jam
python run.py --proxy="http://web-proxy.cup.hp.com:8088" \
              --runner="HP-UX_ia64_aCC" \
              --tag=branches/release --toolsets=acc --bjam-toolset=acc \
              --timeout=10 \
              --bjam-options="-sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1"

  user-config.jam is in the currect working directory:

bash-2.03$ pwd
/test/hpadl881/boost/HEAD/regression
bash-2.03$ ls /test/hpadl881/boost/1_35/regression/user-config.jam
/test/hpadl881/boost/1_35/regression/user-config.jam
bash-2.03$

  From error message below, it seems to me that the build fails to take
  into account the fact that BOOST_BUILD_USER_CONFIG env. variable
  specifies full file specification, i.e. both directory and the filename:
