Making Boost's Jamroot run a script on a start is quite trivial.
There's already BOOST_ROOT variable, so, something like

        local script = $(BOOST_ROOT)/script.sh ;
        if [ CHECK_IF_FILE $(script) ] {
                SHELL $(script) ;
        }

sounds possible? On the other, I am not sure I understand your design goal. I am
quite surely don't want any git checkouts or fetches to happen when I just build.

I am somewhat lost about that ryppl thing. It seems clear that this attempt to clone
Maven for C++ projects is not taking off, so I don't know why directing people to
random mailing lists is gonna be helpful.
