Tried Boost.build v2.0-milestone 9.1 and really loving it.

It's great for one-liner build scripts as well as very complicated
scenarios involving multiple compilers & compiler versions.

The only major problem is the less-than-satisfactory documentation.

Truly amazing build system....once v2 gets decent documentation and a
book or two, it will do to make what subversion will do to cvs.
