I don't think there was a good reason for adding 'bin' after build dir, so we 
can drop it. What do you think about going to 'virtual-target.jam', editing 
'file-target.path' (line 474 for me) accordingly, and sending a patch? This 
should be easy matter of moving "bin" literal to a different place. 

If you're out of time for now, I can do it myself a bit later.
