Here is the full backtrace:

C:/boost/develop/tools/build/src/build\toolset.jam:43: in toolset.using
ERROR: rule "cygwin.init" unknown in module "toolset".
C:/boost/develop/tools/build/src/build\project.jam:1052: in using
C:\Users\Beman\user-config.jam:19: in modules.load
C:/boost/develop/tools/build/src\build-system.jam:249: in load-config

C:\boost\develop\tools\build\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build
C:\boost\develop\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope

Here is user-config.jam entry:

  using cygwin ;

Also tried "using cygwin : : c:/cygwin64/bin/g++ ;" but it failed with the
same backtrace.
