After entering information for the bug, I realized that
svn.boost.org/trac has very limited version entries for Boost-Build.
I hope it was the right place to report the issue.

The problem is on Windows when pathnames are rooted at the current
drive.  I was getting
error: Unknown target type EXE
The workaround is to include the drive letter, so instead of
/local/src/boost-build
one must specify
c:/local/src/boost-build

Based on debug output, I'm guessing the problem is in path.glob which
leads me to believe there is a potential for additional problems if
people are trying to use full path names without the drive letter on
Windows.
