Can't build//dist-bin be just an alias for the root dist-bin target?

I'd have to try that.. But I suspect it might cause recursive problems.

Seems to work for me. But we have the same problem here as we did with Quickbook:

msvc.link ..\..\bin.v2\tools\inspect\build\msvc-14.3\debug\x86_64\link-static\threading-multi\inspect.exe
common.copy C:\boost-git\develop\dist\bin\inspect.exe
..\..\bin.v2\tools\inspect\build\msvc-14.3\debug\x86_64\link-static\threading-multi\inspect.exe

That is, the debug variant is installed by default when doing b2 build//dist-bin.

@pdimov this #21 fixes the debug/release problem. Just had to think about what was going on to eventually realize that it was obvious. :-)
