I like this idea! In my own projects (with modules ala Boost), I'm
solving this issue by putting a Jamroot.in in the root of a project. To
build the project standalone one has to:

mv Jamroot.in Jamroot

The actual Jamfile used by projects that integrate the module is in a
build subdirectory as usual.

Your solution is definitely better.
