add support for specifying files with same name but different subdirectories

[ryan.gallagher@…]

It seems advantageous for usability to allow users to specify multiple files in different subdirectories as targets for creating a library. This request is to considering changing the grist so that dir1/foo.cpp and dir2/foo.cpp have different target names.

I've done some work on this a while back on a solution to add support. A description of this is available here: ​http://tinyurl.com/q96y2 My limited testing seemed to indicate that this worked as I'd hoped and didn't seem to break anything else. Still, I'd advise further testing on this solution as I don't claim to fully understand what other effects these small changes might have.

Oft-requested feature.

Have a patch that mostly works, except for this case:

exe test1 : test1/test1.cpp ;

This tries to both:

• Put 'test1' binary to the test directory
• Put 'test1/test1.o' to the test directory.

The change breaks the Qt Toolsets. if you have a file named include/a.h , the moc generator will now create a the path ending with "moc_include/a.cpp" instead of "include/moc_a.cpp" which would be correct. Further, the implicit include paths are not updated, so that headers generated from .ui files are not found. Example: I have forms/x.ui -> $SOMEDIR/forms/x.h but only $SOMEDIR is added to the includes.

Clearing the milestone. Last time I tried, some Boost tests were broken, and I'm not going to touch those until 1.34 is released, for sure.
