Subject: [Boost-build] Error message could stand improvement:-)

I messed up a change yesterday to status/Jamfile.v2. It has since been
fixed. "libs/endian" should have been "libs/endian/test".

The error message was:

   error: Unable to find file or target named
   error: '../libs/endian/'
   error: referred to from project at
   error: '.'

That last line would have been much more helpful if it had shown the path
to the directory, or better yet the path to Jamfile.v2 file.

Should I open a ticket for this?
