When I did the quick test, I did the wrong thing to prevent bjam from using "C:\Boost". Meanwhile I've seen how I could do this, but I think this whole thread was started to make it easier for novices to check out boost. Having to learn a special tool (bjam) in order to do that isn't exactly easy (even if the expected usage might be rather trivial).
