* new/targets.jam
(main-target.select-alternative): Rewrite.
(main-target.generate-really): Issue error in all cases where best
alternative could not be found.
(basic-target.match): Renamed from 'match-rank' and changed.
* boost_build_v2.html: Document new algorithm.
* test/alternatives.py: More tests.

not by project attribute. The problem with the previous interface was
that it was not possible to mark target as explicit anywhere else,
such as in helper module which declares target in project module, or
in toolset module.
* new/targets.jam
(project-target.mark-target-as-explicit): New rule
(project-target.targets-to-build): Use self.explicit-targets.
* new/project.jam
(project-attributes.set): Don't allow 'explicit-targets'.
[SVN r18900]
attribute which controls where generated targets are put,
much in the same was as ALL_LOCATE_TARGET.
* new/virtual-target.jam
(virtual-target.path): Respect build dir.
(virtual-target.actualize-location): Don't
compute path, but call call instead.
* new/project.jam
(initialize): Set default value for 'build-dir'.
(project-attributes.set): Handle 'build-dir'.
* new/path.jam
(relative): New rule.
* test/build_dir.py: New test.
[SVN r16589]
* new/generators.jam
(find-viable-generators): Allow target type of
"*" mean any type. Try generators for "*" first.
Really ignore generators for base types when
there's a generator for derived type. Allow
grist-only element in generators requirements
to match all values of property.
* new/prebuilt.jam
(prebuilt-target-class): Remove
(prebuild-file-generator): New class.
[SVN r16578]
* boost_build_v2.html: Document new option.
* new/generators.jam (find-viable-generators): Revert part of Dave's
commit, essentially disabling finding base type generators.
This part breaks a test, and need to be thinked about.
* new/errors.jam: Handle "--no-error-backtrace" option.
* test/project_test4.py: Adjust for new error syntax.
