I've comitted the most detailed description of milestone 1 under new/m1.txt.
Please take a look. In particular, it describes a set of tasks I think 
needed. 

I've also comitted some tests for 'make'. It is test/m1-{01,02,03}.py and 
also in directories test/m1-{01,02,03}. They certainly do not work now, and 
require some changes to the test framework, which I'll do in few minutes. 
The tests will surely need tweaking later -- I don't believe that tests can 
be written in adance and never change -- but they define the general feature 
set.

There's also one interface question not addressed yet. I'd like to implement 
almost full project support for the first milestone. We then need an ability 
to load other project's project-root.jam, so that that file could forward 
declare project id that will be used later. What syntax? Something like:

use-project /path/to/my/project ;
