This is _my_ preferred boost-build.jam
https://gist.github.com/thomassuckow/4742940dc5f54f37857a

It has the benefit that it will find the boost build files by the b2/bjam executable used. It can also be overridden by --boost-build command line arg.

If anyone else has tricks up their sleeve for their boost-build.jam, I would invite you to share.
