Now that you remind me, I do remember you mentioning this. So let's fix
it! I know there's been some argument that we don't want to be using a
"custom" version of jam (like there are so many other BeOS projects out
there using jam that would be adversely effected), but this seems like a
pretty no-brainer modification to do, and will certainly make the tool
more useful.
