in src/jamfile:

project src
: build-dir ../bin
;

in src/lib1/jamfile, it automatically knows it's a child of
src/jamfile, and so builds relative to its parent, i.e:

bin/coreapp
bin/lib1
bin/tests

nothing needs to be done for this to happen.

I've got a few questions myself but I think I'll make a separate post.
