Hi,

Thanks for this information.

I am actually trying to change the directory structure so that intermediate
(such as .obj, .pdb) and final build file (such as .lib, .exe) to get built
in directory structure same as that generated by visual studio, like:
<VSProjectTopDir>\Win32\Debug

Because, the directory hierarchy created by boost is too deep. This means,
the debugging thru VS becomes difficult if we are building using the
Jamroot.
Also I found that the .pdb files are created in the top level directory and
not in the <variant> specific path. This means these .pdbs may get
overwritten by other variant.

Regards
