Project-root constants with list value

Hi, 

I'm using constants defined via the 'constant' rule in my 
project-root.jam. 
I'd like to use list value in some of the constants, but it seams 
that the rule is so defined that does not allow list values. 

Is there any specific reason for this? 

The following patch worked for me, but I'm still wandering wether it 
is braking something else or not ... 

The version I'm using: 
bjam --version 
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 10) 
Boost.Jam 03.01.10 

Please, advice!
