Oh, it looks like searching of user-config.jam in BOOST_BUILD_PATH is broken
-- regularly, it's found in the HOME directory.

I have those alternatives:

1. If you have environment variable %HOME% set, move user-config.jam to the
directory given by that variable. If the variable is not set, set it to "D
\BoostRegression\MyDocuments".

2. Rename user-config.jam to test-config.jam

3. Try a bit later. The fix is already comitted, but I'm not sure when it
will appears in the CVS snapshot from metacomm. The fix, specifically, is
that line 82 of tools/jam/src/Jambase contains this:

   BOOST_BUILD_PATH = $(BOOST_BUILD_PATH) $(dir:R=$(.boost-build-file:D)) ;

previously, the order of assigned values was reverse.

Thanks for the patience,
