In the 1.55 days, I used a single user-config.jam for that purpose. How can I achieve the same result now? Michael, the recommended approach is to put user-config.jam in your home directory. Please refer to the table at http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html to see what is considered a home directory on Windows.
