I was referring to the need to --ignore-site-config
--user-config=build_directory/user_config.jam
--build-dir=build_directory --stage-dir=build_directory/stage combo to
replicate configure-like per directory settings. --user-config and
--ignore-site-config are undocumented, I think --stage_directory is
documented somewhere but not in most places, and figuring out that you
need to combine all four is difficult to say the least.

. Sure. See the discussions where if you aren't doing things the boost-build way and are instead a config-per-directory way your basically considered a second class citizen in spite of that being the way the rest of the oss world works. The fact that it is still non-obvious how to do this without touching anything besides a build directory is awful. This should be somewhere in big bold letters.
$ b2 --help ... --build-dir=DIR Build in this location instead of building within the distribution tree. Recommended!
This option is also documented here: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#invoke-b2
