Hi there!

I have plenty of executables each residing in its own directory.
They're built from the Jamroot using the rule build-project. Every
executable somehow uses the macro __FILE__ to enrich log messages.

Now, when a project is built in its own directory separately, the
macro __FILE__ contains the name of the file relative to the project's
Jamfile. But when building the whole suite, the macro contains the
whole path from the Jamroot.

Is there a way to let every project be built in its own directory when
building the whole suite?
