Description

To set the global build dir it would be very convenient to have a BOOST_BUILD_DIR environment variable that has the same semantic as the --build-dir= command line switch.

It would be equally nice to be able to specify it in the *-config.jam files, but a first glance it looks as if this would come too late in the start-up process.
