* Jamroot: use symlink, not hardlink
* tools/build/v2/tools/symlink.jam: Implement fallback
for doing symlinks on Windows.
Fixes#1902. Thanks to Frank Mori Hess for the patch.

- Drop separate 'suffix' field in file targets. Store suffix as part of
the name' field. This avoids the need to copy the suffix field and the
name everywhere.
- Do not pass generated targets to constructor of 'action'. Instead,
pass the acton to constructor of target.

* build/targets.jam (generate-realy):
After applying tag, we used to 'temporary' change self.name,
which is horrible. How pass the name to 'construct'.
(construct): New parameter 'name'.
(tag-name): New rule, extracted from basic-target. This needs to be
separate rule so that we can call it from 'stage'. Check for a value of
from '@something' and interpret 'something' as a rule which returns the
new name.

as the first elements of result. Those usage requirements will be combined
with explicitly specified for the main target.
This is yet another step towards making 'main target classes' unnecessary.
* build/generators.jam
(try-one-generator): Check if generator returned usage requirements or not.
(construct): Make sure first element of result is always property set.
(many other methods): Induced changes
* tools/builtin.jam
(exe-target-class, lib-target-class): Remove.
(linking-generator, seached-lib-generator): Compute usage requirements.
(archiving-generator): New class

The targets (both abstract and virtual) used to refer to project there belong
to using the name of Jamfile module corresponding to the project. That was a
bit messy, and whatevet it was necessary to get any project attribute, one
had to call 'project.attribute', which was messy too.
Now, projects are identified by instance of project-target class, and
attributes are obtained via 'get' method in that class.
[SVN r23001]
The used 'CALLER_MODULE' to determine the project where the main target
is to be declared, which did not work if the rule is called from another
module.
Thanks to Zbynek Winkler for the bug report.
* build/project.jam (current): New rule
* test/wrapper.py: New test
* other files: Use 'project.current'.

virtual-target.jam.
- Added the missing explicit imports, now that we don't dump
everything into the global module with qualification
- stopped using the feature-space hack for temporary testing states of
the feature module. Instead we move its global variable definitions
to a temporary module.
- the way feature.action was invoking the rule it was being passed was
evil. Now you pass (even local) rules without qualification and
they are invoked in the source module context.
- module __test__ rules are always executed in a separate module, so
that their import dependencies can be separated from those of the
module being tested.
- better reporting of circular module-loading dependencies
implemented.
- minor changes:
property-set.jam: moved .empty initialization to avert circular
load dependency .
symlink.jam: fixed global variable naming.
[SVN r18407]
* new/path.jam
(make-NT, make-UNIX): Convert empty path into "."
* new/project.jam
(path-relative-to-project-location): New rule.
* new/stage.jam
(stage-target-class.construct): Use the above rule.
* new/symlink.jam
(symlink-targets.construct): Call 'set-path' on created
virtual targets.
(ln): Attempts at better handling creating symlinks in
directories.
* new/virtual-target.jam
(abstract-file-target.actual-name): If explicit path was
given, include it in grist.
* test/symlink.py: New test.
* test/test_all.py
Run new test.
[SVN r16889]
* new/builtin.jam: Made 'toolset' and 'variant'
features symmentic. Document and fix the 'variant' rule.
* new/virtual-target.jam: Refactoring attempts. Split
virtual-target into virtual-target and derived from it
file-target. Eliminate some duplication in setting target
locations.
