FWIW, it was a design goal of Boost.Build v2 to get away from builds that depend on environment variables.
We combined configuration and build steps into one pass, somewhat confusing the issue. When there are separate "configure" and "build" steps, it makes sense for the "configure" step to obey environment variables whereas the "build" step would not.
It seems perfectly reasonable to create such a generic toolset, whether it uses env vars or not.
