The inspect program (https://github.com/boostorg/inspect) does a nice job of detecting various library boo-boos, but the traditional use

development and maintenance workflow.
Since inspect runs fine on an individual library, I'd like to add running it to the test-suite for libraries I maintain. How would I do this?
If running inspect as part of my regular tests turned out to be helpful, many other libraries might follow suit and eventually we might even
require it for all libraries. Thus while it would be useful if inspect was rebuilt whenever it or its dependencies change, we would want the
check for change and rebuild if needed on a once per b2 invocation basis, not once for each library that uses inspect.
the attached appear to almost work, except that inspect does not run in the current directory. Can you play with this one
before we go on fixing the remaining issue?
