Support out-of-tree builds

Description

Currently when you run ./boostrap.sh it builds b2 in the source tree. There doesn't seem to be any way to change this.

If possible it would be nice to support fully out-of-source trees so that you can do a build without modifying the source tree at all.

One way to do this would be to switch from b2 to CMake (two birds etc).
