Unless you have included Root/buildfile in Test/PIL/buildfile, it
should not be loaded (add print directives to confirm). The project-
wide Root/build/{bootstrap,root}.build are loaded, however, and this
is as expected.

If you don't want to load {bootstrap,root}.build from Root/, then you
will need to make PIL/ (or Test/) a project with disabled amalgamation.
That is, add build/{bootstrap,root}.build under PIL/ (or Test/) and add
this after project= in bootstrap.build:

amalgamation = # Disabled.

(If something does not work, send a test project that reproduces the
problem).
