Actually, the FT Jam sources use the same build process than the
original Jam sources. Though I'd favor a drastic change, I'd like
my current changes integrated into the main Jam source tree as
soon as possible, which is why I didn't touch too much of the
current source package..

On another hand, my changes have been submitted for a long time
to the Jam author, but it seems he doesn't have much time to
integrate/inspect them.

Would we decide to completely fork Jam (which I do _not_ want to
happen until forced to), we could be able to completely re-design
this part of its source package..
