I removed all junctions from boot_root/boost and re-ran the 
regression(s). There are a handful of subdirectories that are not (shown 
as) junctions:  detail, graph, numeric, and pending.  My bjam.log shows 
all compiles broken that look for anything in these directories. 2671 
matches on "No such file or directory" (though a handful are legitmately 
seeking files like iconv.h).

Are these supposed to be treated differently? Is wiping all of 
boost_root/boost a valid short-term work-around, or does that cause 
other problems?  Does all of boost_root need to go?
