[Boost-build] [Boost][Build][v2] Adding command line options

Hi,

Is there some documentation on how to modify Boost build to add new  
command line options?  I'd like to know where and how to add options  
when using bjam v2 head.  I want to make these command line arguments  
available to the project Jamfiles and would prefer command line  
arguments to requiring users to set environment variables.  Something  
like

bjam --v2 --builddir=/my/derived/files --materialdir=/my/material/ 
library

I've looked at what's done in the Boost distribution but from what I  
can tell, it seems to require modifications to the Jambase, which I'd  
rather avoid if possible.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
