I'm trying to determine how boost build finds the python install. I see in boost\tools\build\v2\tools\python-config.jam that it looks in the Windows Registry (for NT at least). But this only checks for Python 2.4, 2.3, 2.2. It also seems to look for python.exe in the PATH. But I can't seem to find the code that does that. Any ideas?

python-config.jam is out-dated. Just use using python : /version/ : /command/ ;

In particular, I would like to change it to actually check for an include directory once it finds python.exe. On my system, it finds a 'rogue' python.exe that is not part of the full python install (thus no include folder).
