Okay, boost-build 2.0-m12-2 has been synced. What's now left to do is find a location for the configuration lines as of the previous comment. This should probably be in a separate *.jam file installed by libboost1.3?-dev that is somehow found by boost-build when called. I've asked on the boost-build mailing list, and the one suggestion I got can be found at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/20084

Applying this advice would mean
* make libboost1.3?-dev add e.g. an /etc/boost/ or /etc/boost-build/ directory, and put a e.g. boost-tools.jam file there that includes the relevant configuration lines
* modifying the boost-build's site-config.jam to include that location

I'll see if I can roll out a patch to reflect this. Note that I'm not sure about security implications - to me using /etc and subdirs for configuration seems pretty fine, though.
