This is a direct quote from one of the team who wished to remain
anonymous...

"First answer: do not use jam.  I know we are pretty much sorry we did.
This is not to say jam is a horrible tool, but it does not fit well
with a lot of complex build scenarios, and especially not with our
build system which is very complex.

Second answer:  apart from a couple folks on my team and, presumably,
the perforce folks, I don't know of any jam experts.  My guys generally
hold the first opinion, so I doubt they'll be looking to get more
involved with jam issues than they already are..."
