Glob behaviour

Hi,

I have the following directory structure:

c:/Project/
Exe1/
Jamfile2
Jamfile1

The real names of Jamfile1 and Jamfile2 are of course Jamfile. Jamfile1 
reads:
project-root ;
subinclude Exe1 ;

And in Jamfile2 I use the Glob rule. When I execute bjam from the 
c:/Project directory the path I give to Glob should be relative to 
c:/Project, but when I execute bjam from c:/Project/Exe1 it should be 
relative to that directory. So I get different results from Glob depending 
on the directory from where I execute bjam! Why is that? 

Shouldn't Glob always act relative to the directory of it's own Jamfile, or 
should I use absolute paths instead? 

How can I get the absolute path of the current Jamfile?

Aside from some trouble caused by my unfamiliarity with Boost.Build it 
seems to work very well!

Patrick
