This alone seems to take care of generating bjam in

BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/engine/bin.macosxx86_64

and makes a copy of if in BOOST_ROOT. I guess the first directory is 
what is referred to, below, as 'Boost.Build engine', right?

Thus far, Boost.Build core has no bjam executable, so I wonder how 
engine and core can be compared (and what, besides the bjam binaries). 
Anyhow, I tried this:

BOOST_ROOT$ tools/build/v2/bootstrap.sh

Let's check:

BOOST_ROOT$ cmp -s bjam ./tools/build/v2/bjam && echo 'no changes'
no changes
BOOST_ROOT$ cmp -s bjam ./tools/build/v2/engine/bin.macosxx86_64/bjam && 
echo 'no changes'

Finally,

BOOST_ROOT$ bjam --version
[same warning]
is 2011.04-svn

BOOST_ROOT$ ./tools/build/v2/engine/bin.macosxx86_64/bjam --version
[no warning]
Boost.Build 2011.04-svn

$ ./tools/build/v2/bjam --version
[no warning!]
Boost.Build 2011.04-svn

They are all the same version. I deduce, therefore, that mismatched 
versions of Boost.Build engine and core means something other than the 
bjam execs are different in the directories specified above.

Note: I also tried with a stable release 1.47.

Please give me some suggestion to resolve this issue. Thanks.
