In fact, what I want to say is "create a 'html/numpy' directory from a
'numpy' directory". How do I express that ? (There *is* a 'numpy'
directory in the source tree, next to the Jamfile containing the above
lines.)

(A related question: are there any variables I can inspect to identify
'source directory', 'build directory', and 'output directory' which the
above would be relative to ?)

Thanks,
