You can use 'build-dir' attribute on top-level Jamfile:

project yours : build-dir "build" ;

OTOH, it's not currently possible to use the "plain" target dir structure, or 
to separate .obj and .exe targets.

The first issue can be solved by introducing "build-dir" rule that will be 
called in context of Jamfile to determine build dir for that project. Writing 
your own custom "build-dir" rule in top-level Jamfile will allow to use any 
build tree layout.

Separating .obj and .exe targets is harder. Basically, I never though about 
it, so have no idea what it will take. I need this to move around in my head 
for a while, or if you have any suggestions -- I'm all ears.
