[Boost-build] Upgrade from Jam-Classic to Boost.Jam

Hi,
Is Boost.Jam backwards compatible with regular jam? I have a jam based
project here that I want to convert to Boost.Jam. When I use bjam to build
the old jam project I get an error message that boost-build.jam and
bootstrap.jam are missing. I created an empty bootstrap.jam and cretaed a
boost-build.jam that contains only the boost-build rule:

boost-build ;

This seems to satisfy bjam, however my Jamrules/Jamfiles from the previous
jam project are not used. What else do I need to add?

regards,
Marc
