Finding out where output files are and changing it + precompiled headers

Hi!

I'm trying to adapt bbv2-m10 to our project and I'm new to Jam/BoostBuild in 
general so please bear with me. I'm wondering how to do two things:

1. Redirect all output (object files, libraries and executables) to a custom 
directory. I'd like to keep the current hierarchy with debug/release 
directories, but I'd like to move them from the current location to a higher 
location in the directory tree, like this:

Current:
Libs->MyLib->bin->[.lib.obj]

New:
Libs->Intermediate->MyLib->bin->[.lib.obj]

2. In my compiler flags <cflag> I'd like to reference the output directory 
(the one we changed in 1). This is for this specific instance for 
precompiled headers, so the actual flag I want to pass is something like 
this (but of course I don't know the proper variablenames):

<cflag>-Fp$(intermediate_path)/$(project_name).pch

Regards,
Jim Tilander
