CVS? Are you sure? Boost is presently in SVN, and checking our from
CVS (if that works) will give you a hopelessy old version.

This is wrong syntax. See:

        http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html

Note that:

1. toolset name is 'gcc'
2. -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY has no effect, see:

        http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
