I don't think this is quite correct, but anyway,
the project /boost/python corresponds to the
Jamfile in libs/python/build/.  There are a bunch
of calls to use-project in Jamroot to set this up.

Yes.  Actually there's a shorter form.  Jamroot
defines aliases for all the libraries like /boost//unit_test_framework
