As far as I know Jamfile.v2 is a hack in boost/boost-build.jam 
implemented solely for Boost libraries to allow Boost to be built with 
both versions before BBv2 becomes stable.

For general usage of Boost.Build v2 Jamroot and optional child 
Jamfile(s) should be used. It seems you used Boost itself as a tutorial 
which isn't right. Boost is a bad example to learn from. Use the 
available documentation instead.
