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.
