Well, then this error disappears. But calling "b2 headers" from BOOST_ROOT
finds no targets.
I simply give up on this. As a (mostly) happy user, I never bothered to dive
into the b2 porcelain layer. And I can simply not free the necessary time for
building a working mental model of the whole internal workings at this point.
But as the conversion seems to stopped and/or broken (again), this doesn't
matter...
