bjam and Jam/MR coexistence

Hi,

I've been using Jam/MR (Perforce Jam) to build my projects under OpenVMS for
some time now. I've just started to take a look at what it really takes to
make a switch to bjam v2, so I've started out converting some of my Jamfiles
to bbv2 (but only for NT + msvc 7.1 as a starter).

I'd like to keep the old Jamfile/Jamrules in the source tree, so I was
wondering whether it is possible to tell bbv2 to look for e.g. "Jamfile.v2"
files instead of plain "Jamfile"s? I've previously seen the .v2 files in the
boost source tree, but I don't know if and how I could use the same
approach.

Thanks // Johan
