Setting a Boost.Build variable seems to work fine. I don't have bzip2 but the error message indicates that the option is being handled. 

C:\boost\trunk>bjam --with-iostreams -sBZIP2_SOURCE=C:/bzip2
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/boost/iostreams//C:/bzip2/libbz2.def'
error: referred from project at
error:     'libs/iostreams/build'

What exactly did you try?

It looks like you're missing quotes. Try: bjam --with-iostreams -sBZIP2_SOURCE="C:/bzip2"

instead.
