I think you're going to have to give a bit more detail as to what you
actually are attempting. As otherwise my only answer is to just use
"cd".. Since all the actions run as sub-processes there's no chance of
actually changing the working dir of the bjam process. But you really
should avoid doing this, and instead try to find a way to get a correct
relative path.
