PS.

Using "project.jam" and "build.jam" has the interesting advantage that 
it semantically works if one wants to use the files directly as 
executable scripts. For example if one adds the shell run line to the of:

   #!bjam

One could then use as:

   cd /path/to/my/project
   ./project.jam --prefix=/opt/my-project install debug
   cd /path/to/my/project/tests
   ./build.jam debug msvc-8.0
