Hmmm. If I interpret your phrase, "per top level target basis"
correctly, I don't think that helps me. I want to be able to run bjam
on a TOP jamfile, and have some subprojects build binaries targeted to
the Playstation2 EE processor, and some binaries targeted to its IOP
processor.

Can I do something like this: In each subproject, do something like:

local on_ps2ee ;
ps2ee = 1; # or not

And in the tools jam file, write somthing like:

if $(ps2ee )
flags snps HDR_PATHS : $(SCE)\\EE\\INCLUDE
else
flags snps HDR_PATHS : $(SCE)\\IOP\\INCLUDE
endif

Yeah, well, that's probably wrong, but that should convey what I'm
trying to do. BTW, I want to keep the local jamfiles as simple as
possible, even at the expense of making the tools files more complex.
