Hi,

I have some project specific jam files that reside in a directory under
project-root.

Is it possible to set up the project so that I can "import" these jam
files from other parts of the project without specifying their path?

e.g.
  project-root/Jamfile.v2
  project-root/project-root.jam
  project-root/jamfiles/jamfile1.jam
  project-root/module1/Jamfile.v2

and in project-root/module1/Jamfile.v2 I would like

  import jamfile1 ;

I have tried modifying BOOST_BUILD_PATH within project-root/Jamfile.v2,
but without success...

Explicitly specifying the path (import ../jamfiles/jamfile1 ;) works until
I invoke the "flags" in the imported jamfile, at which point I get the
error:

   Module ../jamfiles/jamfile1 attempted to set flags for module jamfile1
