Ah, no ;-) Boost.Build will handle any of:

   project-root.jam
   [Jj]amroot
   [Jj]amroot.jam
   [Bb]uild.jam
   [Jj]amfile.v2
   [Jj]amfile
   [Jj]amfile.jam

I personally prefer the ones with the .jam extension :-) But I don't see 
a problem with using capital letters in file names. And more important, 
the restriction may not be appropriate for all file/dir names in the svn 
repo.
