Hi,
The M9.1 version expects "Jamroot" to be named "project-root.jam". I'd suggest 
you obtain the current nightly build from http://boost.org/boost-build2
In terms of features,bugs and stability, it's pretty sure the best you can 
get.

BTW, M9.1 is pretty old itself, there's M10 out there already available for 
download.
