As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download
the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report
both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.


I'm having a problem with B2 in this release.

For many releases now, I have run a command such as:
b2 -j16 --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 architecture=x86 --prefix="./" --libdir=lib32-msvc-10.0 --includedir=temp_inc install

to get the windows builds of each toolset. For the install, I set the prefix as the current directory, so that I'll get a lib{arch}-msvc-{ver} directory for each toolset in there. However, with this 1.70 release, it seems to ignore my prefix and put the headers in libs/headers/build/temp_inc/boost-1_70/boost, instead of temp_inc/boost-1_70/boost. For the libraries, it scattered them throughout the build in directories such as libs/coroutine/build/lib32-msvc-10.0/. 

Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Am I using the --prefix --libdir and --inlcudedir correctly? Or at least not badly enough to warrant this?
