      Hi,

thanks Volodya, that actually gets me a step further.

Unfortunately I'm still not there yet ;-), see below.

Is this an environment var? Please read:
No, not an environment variable, it is set on the command line
using '-s' option.  Is this still supported in v2?

No. In V1, top-level dir had to have Jamfile+Jamrules. In V2, 
top-level dir
should have Jamroot.
Ok, so I've replaced Jamfile+Jamrules with the following files:

boost-build ../../../boost/tools/build/v2 ;

<Jamroot>
using msvc : 8.0 ;
BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR ?= stage ;

rule Pseudo ( target : libname : libtype : variant )
{
        VARIANT = $(variant) ;
        NOTFILE $(target) ;
        DEPENDS $(target) : $(BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR)/$(libtype)/$(libname)/$(variant) ;
        stage $(BOOST_LOCAL_STAGE_DIR)/$(libtype)/$(libname)/$(variant)
              :
                  ../../../boost//$(libname)/<link>$(libtype)
              :
                  <include>../../../boost
                  <debug-symbols>on
                  <debug-store>database
                  <variant>$(variant)
                  <runtime-link>shared
              ;
}

# ---------------- signals ------------------
Pseudo signals_lib_debug
   : signals
   : static
   : debug
   ;

# ---------------- serialization ------------------
Pseudo serialization_lib_debug
   : serialization
   : static
   : debug
   ;
</Jamroot>

Calling

bjam.exe -d4 signals_lib_debug

results in

<output>
notice: could not find main target  signals_lib_debug
notice: assuming it's a name of file to create 
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).
make    --      <e>signals_lib_debug
make    --      <e>signals_lib_debug
bind    --      <e>signals_lib_debug: signals_lib_debug

don't know how to make <e>signals_lib_debug
made+   nofind  <e>signals_lib_debug
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
</output>

Although I'm fooling around with my Jamroot and try to grasp sth. 
from the docs, I don't seem to get any further.  The only thing 
I want to achieve is building selected boost libs out-of-tree to 
a commandline specified target directory.  Can you help me 
getting closer to this seemingly simple goal?

TIA,
