[build] BBv2 doesn't honor --builddir option
[Maybe this belongs on the boost-build list?] On the boost RC_1_34_0 branch, building with the --builddir option doesn't actually use that option. The option is still documented in the output of 'bjam --help'. Either the documentation should be fixed or the option should actually be honored.

It's been discussed on the boost-build mailing list quite a while ago, but it apparently never got "fixed": http://search.gmane.org/?query=--builddir%20--build-dir&group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.build / Johan

Thanks for the pointer. So its the undocumented option that actually works :(

You're right. I'll work on this ASAP. Thanks, Volodya
