site-config.jam is for site-wide settings.  You can use "using" to
configure the compiler to use, e.g.

It can have a project in it, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't affect the
other projects like putting it in project-root.jam.   Here's an example
of putting a project in site-config.jam: 
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/recipies/site-config.html

So, I think project-root.jam is best (only?) place for it.
