What are indirect children?

If I understand it correctly, it sounds like a good change
to me.

Children of children, or children of children of children,
and so on.

In other words, if you have Jamroot, sub1/Jamfile and
sub1/sub2/Jamfile,
then running "bjam --clean" in Jamroot will clean
not only targets in Jamroot 
and sub1/Jamfile, but also in sub1/sub2/Jamfile.
