Hi Juergen,
thank you for the testcase. This bug is now fixed in CVS, and a new automatic 
test were added for this problem.

Incidentally, this also closes:

   https://zigzag.cs.msu.su:7813/boost.build/ticket/11

meaning you can write:

  build-project <some-project-id> ;

not only

  build-project <some-directory> ;

Thanks,
Volodya
