Steven,

Thanks for you support.

It seems that the issue happens only with combining generators. In the
included (failing) test case, if the foo generator is register with
register.standard it's working fine. if register-combining is used
instead then it fails (include file not found).

I take the opportunity to report a small mistake in the "invocation" doc
at :
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/invocation.html

--ignore-config : Do not load site-config.jam or user-config.jam.

According to the load-configuration-files rule that should be :

--ignore-site-config : Do not load site-config.jam.
--user-config filename: Explicitly name the user configuration jam file
(default is user-config.jam). The file is looked for from the current
working directory.
