Subject: [Boost-build] Incremental build and changes on Jamfiles only

Hi,

I was wondering how the regression testers using an incremental build
behave when there is just a change on the Jamfile.
Would the targets for which the action that built them has changed be
rebuilt?

I'm asking this because in my computer I need to pass the -a option to
ensure that everything is coherent.
Is this a bug on Boost.Build? If yes, shouldn't incremental build be
avoided on regression testers?

Best,
Vicente
