[Boost-build] [Jam] Problem with InstallFile

Hello,

I hope jam problems can be discussed here.

I am facing problem with jam(not bjam) and InstallFile rule. When two modules 
contain InstallFile rule, to install files with identical name(but not 
content), in two separate target directories, only one of them is installed, 
not both of them. Please see the transcript for a reproduction.

Any help is highly appreciated. I am using Jam 3.1.14 but the behaviour is 
same with jam 3.1.17.

$ cat Jamfile               
SubDir DEVELDIR ;           

SubInclude DEVELDIR a ;
SubInclude DEVELDIR b ;

$ cat a/Jamfile
SubDir DEVELDIR a ;

InstallFile /tmp/t1 : a.cpp ;

$ cat b/Jamfile
SubDir DEVELDIR b ;

InstallFile /tmp/t2 : a.cpp ;

$ ls -la a/a.cpp b/a.cpp /tmp/t1 /tmp/t2
