I'm experiencing problems cross-compiling Boost 1.56.0b1 (host Linux
Mint 17 x86_64, target x86_64-w64-mingw32), and I think this is due to
the build system not picking up my user-config.jam.  In Boost 1.55.0, I
placed my user-config.jam in <boost_root>/tools/build/v2, and it worked.
In Boost 1.56.0b1 this directory no longer exists, so I tried placing
my user-config.jam in <boost_root>/tools/build and in
<boost_root>/tools/build/example where the example user-config.jam is
located.  Neither of these seem to work, i.e. the invoked compiler is 
the native compiler g++ and not the cross-compiler specified in 
user-config.jam.

Has anybody successfully managed to cross-compile Boost 1.56.0b1 and/or 
successfully managed to place a working user-config.jam in the Boost 
1.56.0b1 source tree?
