[Boost-build] using "build-project"

Subject: [Boost-build] using "build-project"

In my Jamfile I use

  build-project tutorial
  build-project reference

with two subprojects in tutorial/ and reference/. Each of those contains
its own Jamfile, and running bjam in those subdirectories will generate
a local html/ directory.

However, if I execute bjam in the toplevel directory, I get a single
./html/ directory with output of both subprojects on top of each other
(and of course, a single index.html file corresponding to the last
subproject being built).

What am I doing wrong ? How can I force the two html/ directories to be
generated within tutorial/ and reference/, even if the build process is
invoked from the toplevel directory ?

(Is there a parameter I can use to the boostbook rule to set the output
directory explicitly ?)

Thanks,
                Stefan
