Description
project-config.jam is loaded only in the current directory tree, and acts as the parent project of all Jamroots in your tree. This is very useful. However, since it has no "location" you cannot specify a build-dir in it which limits it's usefulness.
I'll include a simple patch which gives project-config.jam a location, and solves this problem. IMHO this is better behavior because project-config.jam is not in BOOST_BUILD_PATH but in your own tree just like Jamfiles and Jamroots.
