Hi Volodya,

I just started browsing through the v2 docs. I have to say that
they're very nice and accessible so far. They give a very reassuring
sense of security!

When I saw the mention of <library> at
http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/tools/build/v2/boost_build_v2.html#sec-tutorial
I started to wonder why not <source> instead?

If you can write:

project
: requirements <library>/boost/filesystem//fs
;

Then why not also

project
: requirements <source>foo.cpp
;

and then why not

project
: requirements <source>/boost/filesystem//fs
; # ^^^^^^^^

??
