Kevin, I have a fix for this, which is partly in develop but not yet 
master.

Vladimir, I have one remaining issue, after copying all the missing 
build files (or using develop bcp) I get (the starting position is a 
"./dist/bin/bcp regex build ../test"):

M:/data/boost/test/tools/build/src/build\project.jam:262: in 
find-jamfile from module project
error: Unable to load Jamfile.
error: Could not find a Jamfile in directory 'tools/inspect/build'.
error: Attempted to find it with pattern '[Bb]uild.jam [Jj]amfile.v2 
[Jj]amfile [Jj]amfile.jam'.
error: Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

module project

project.find from module project

module build-system

from module modules
M:\data\boost\test\tools\build\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in 
boost-build from module
M:\data\boost\test\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope from module

Why?  What on earth in the build system is pulling in inspect?  I can 
fix that by copying that specific Jamfile, which leads to an error 
complaining about libs/tools/wave/tool/build/Jamfile.v2 being missing. 
If I copy that file as well, then everything seems to more or less work.

I can fix bcp by adding a manual dependency from boost.build to those 2 
files, but that seems crazy.  Any ideas?

Thanks, John.
