In e.g. Boost 1.43's Jamroot all-libraries are collected with

all-libraries = [ MATCH .*libs/(.*)/build/.* : [ glob libs/*/build/Jamfile.v2 ]
    [ glob libs/*/build/Jamfile ] ]
    ;

Note the uppercase 'J'. This doesn't consider libs/crypto/build/jamfile.v2 in 
case-sensitive filesystems. That it works on windows is obviously because 
windows filesystems are case-insensitive by default.
