Then, in:

v2/doc/html/bbv2/extending/rules.html

should the phrase:

you could add the following definition to the project-root.jam file:

be:

you could add the following definition to either the project-root.jam
or the jamroot file:

? Or maybe puting a rule in jamroot will not make it a "main target
rule"; hence, as stated in:

v2/doc/html/bbv2/extending/rules.html

it must be put in project-root.jam. Is that right? So, if you have
an exiting jamroot, and want to create a main target rule for the
project or sub-project, you'd have to replace the jamroot file with
both a jamfile and a project-root.jam file. I that right?
