Thank you for that.  This file is from the OS (Gentoo)-provided Boost.
I'm looking to use a segregated build independent of the OS-provided
one.

According to
http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html
Boost.Build should only search teh following locations for
site-config.jam:
   - /etc
   - $HOME
   - $BOOST_BUILD_PATH

$HOME is /home/nick, and I've not defined BOOST_BUILD_PATH so I assume
it's `pwd` which is /home/nick/temp2/dev/3rdParty/Boost/boost_1_61_0 in
my case.  Is there some other reason it's picking up this file in this
location?  Is there some way I can prevent it from doing so?
