   project-root.jam             --> Jamroot.jam.
   [Jj]amroot(.v2|) jamroot.jam --> Jamroot.jam.
   [Jj]amfile(.v2|) jamfile.jam --> Jamfile.jam.

   I remember seeing a reference to build.jam somewhere in code while 
reading through it a few days ago, but can not find it now. When I saw 
it I assumed it was some older name for Jamroot.

   We could still provide support for these older [Jj]amroot, 
jamroot.jam, [Jj]amfile & jamfile.jam names, possibly with an optional 
'deprecated' warning...

   Optionally lower-case variants jamfile.jam and jamroot.jam could be 
chosen as the official names. I'd actually prefer those... :-) but 
doesn't really matter one way or the other...

   Btw. is BBv1 finally dead? Can we remove hacks related to it?
