Calling qt4.jam from a custom location

[Sherwood Hu]

I am working on Windows, VC 8.0.

I modified qt4.jam in order to produce 32-bit and 64-bit applications
simultaneously.  It worked.

Now I want to move this modified qt4.jam to a custom location under the
project directory so that we can put it into source control.

import qt4 ;
import cast ;
if ! [ qt4.initialized ]
{
    path-constant qt4-path : ../../lib/qt4 ;
    ECHO "Use QT4 from the custom path" $(qt4-path) ;
    using qt4 : $(qt4-path) ;
}

I copied the file to ../../lib/qt4 directory, and change the import
statement:

import ../../lib/qt4/qt4 ;

It complained that it could load modules.jam.

How to modify the following `import' statements so that they can be
located:

import modules ;
import feature ;
import errors ;
import type ;
import "class" : new ;
import generators ;
import project ;
import toolset : flags ;
import os ;
import virtual-target ;

It would be nice if you could post your modifications (unified diff most
welcome) so I can take a look and maybe merge them to stock qt4.jam.

Getting the changes into Boost should be better ;-))

No idea.

You have to use modules.load first.  Run bjam --help modules.load for
documentation.
