[Boost-build] [bbv2] Build-dir for used projects

Hi,

I'm using boost libraries from my own Jamfiles similar to the following:

path-constant build-root : ./build ;

project my-proj
    : build-dir
    $(build-root)
    ;

use-project boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

alias threads
    : /boost/thread//boost_thread
    : <link>static
    :

However, I'd like the thread library to be built under $(build-root) instead 
of $(BOOST_ROOT)/bin.v2. Is this possible without using command-line 
arguments?

I was looking for some property that I could pass on using the alias rule, 
but couldn't find anything.
