Your impression is unfortunately incorrect. The current Jam system can
only build targets in the current directory or subdirectories. I
critized this behavior as a side note on this list earlier. It can be
fixed, but not without changing Jambase.
Anyway, it is not too bad, as you can pass the target you want to build
to the jam command invoked in the tree's root directory.
