You need to either have BOOST_BUILD_PATH set in environemnt, or specified
as the argument to the above. 

Alternatively, you can

1. Go to tools/build/v2
2. Run bootstap.bat
3. Run "./bjam install --prefix=whatever
4. Add whatever/bin to your PATH

in this way, no environment variables will have to be set, but then, you'd
have to repeat (3) every time Boost.Build is changed in a way you care
about.
