Sorry: Another victim of loss-of-focus.  I'm trying to avoid putting
any specific library
names in the Jamfile in order to keep it OS/variant/architecture neutral.

I've tried the approach you suggested, on windows.  I'm still getting
an odd problem - apparently
with finding the aliases. (filesystem was the first alias in the
library list when I ran this bjam):

*** argument error
* rule project.find ( name : current-location )
