Weird.  I made a change not long ago which *fixed* the way <template>s
worked so that templates in other subprojects could be referenced
(boost-base.jam v. 1.103).  I can't understand how that would break
your usage.  

What -I options *do* you see in your command lines (bjam -n -a), and
what do you *expect* to see?

What happens when you roll that change back?
