bjam - several projects and ALL_LOCATE_TARGET

Hi,

I would like to ask for help with using bjam. I want to have more project
directory trees, for example:

    C:\src\boost
    C:\src\my_projects\first
    C:\src\my_projects\first

and I want to compile binaries to separate directories:

    C:\build\boost
    C:\build\my_projects\first
    C:\build\my_projects\second

So I have to set different values of the ALL_LOCATE_TARGET environment
variable for each project. It's unconfortable to set that value each time I
want to inovoke the bjam, so I want to set it in the Jamfile of each
project. I mean somethin like this:

--- C:\src\my_first_project\Jamfile ---
    project-root ;
    ALL_LOCATE_TARGET = C:\build\my_projects\first
---
Of course, this doesn't work. Can someone propose the solustion?
BTW it would be handy to use the "project-root" directive for this reason:
--- C:\src\my_first_project\Jamfile ---
    project-root my_projects/first ;
---
The specified path is ment as relative to the ALL_LOCATE_TARGET.
Thanks and regards,
w
