Thanks. Someone else let me know that privately. We're rather far 
behind, unfortunately. Upgrading will be a challange since we don't seem 
to have a baseline version to begin merging from. That's a task on my 
to-do list for next year, I'm afraid.

Having done some experimentation yes, that is what I need. (It would 
also be great if it could do so without doing all of the file time 
checks, which makes it take longer than it should.) What's the best way 
of identifying the project targets? What I've been testing is this :

bjam -a -k -n --debug-building ... some_target |
sed -n -e "/.*Building target/s|^.*Building target 
'\(${root}/Nbtools/[^/>]*\).*'$|\1|p"

which seems to work, I'm just not comfortable that I'm extracting the 
correct lines.
