A definition of 'Boost root' seems useful, for a start, even if it seems obvious to you.
The table of bjam options appears to me to provide c:\boost as the Win32 default for where bjam puts the Boost version files.
How do you suggest switching to a new Boost version 1.34? And back again if it proves to cause trouble :-(
The "bjam install" is designed so that it *does not* collide across versions. So there is no need to change the installation location for new versions.
Bjam install doesn't copy headers. Headers will cause problems. Remember our discussion some time ago. I proposed the following structure: /dev/libs/libboost* /dev/boost_1_31/boost/*.hpp Which will allow to install multiple libraries (not only boost) into the same tree, if all libraries follow Boost naming conventions.
