I've had a look at it and it seemed relevant but I don't have the time to 
test it right now (I had to get it working, so I reverted to renaming one of 
the offending source files). IIRC though, using path.glob can be a problem 
in multi-level projects - did you try to use your patch in a project with 
multiple Jamfiles?

out of the box.
