 Hi,

 When we use glob rule inside conditional in dependency target, it makes
 "globbing" not inside directory of dependency project, but inside
 dependent one. To reproduce, take example/libraries from boost build
 repository, amend util/foo/jamfile to introduce <conditional>:

 >>>
 rule print-my-sources ( properties * )
 {
     ECHO My sources: ;
     ECHO [ glob *.cpp ] ;
 }

 project
     : usage-requirements <include>include ;

 lib bar : bar.cpp : <conditional>@print-my-sources ;
 <<<

 Finally, build from jamroot.jam level and see the output:
 My sources:
 app.cpp
 My sources:
 app.cpp

 We expected to see "bar.cpp", while it seems that context was not switched
 from dependent "app" to dependency "util/foo", and thus we got "app.cpp".

 Attached reworked example/libraries.
