No! It's supposed to check %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% first, then %HOME%, then %BOOST_BUILD_PATH%. I'll look at this.
I think this is backwards. If someone has gone through the trouble of setting a HOME environment variable, that one should be preferred over %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. Consider that many people out there have probably defined HOME for the sole purpose of making bjam work (I'm one of them). This change will break them by causing bjam to look someplace else for user-config.jam.
You really think it's likely that they've set up HOME and yet have installed a user-config.jam that they don't want bjam to use in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%? I don't. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
