I guess they are just missing, because no one really cared before.
The basic idea is to have a common base directory (currently in arch/ 
which I don't like that much, I'd like arch/common/ or arch/generic/ 
better), and specific code in the x86 and ppc subdirectories.
The Jamfile in the specific subdirectories would choose the files from 
the specific and generic directory to build the complete set.

In theory, the generic stuff should always be complete, but I guess 
that's probably no longer the case.

HTH.
