Hi,

  Just in case anyone interested, in attachment a svn source getter.

How to:

#

# build.jam

#

import svn ;

lib external_lib : my_dependency_description_file.svn

  :

    <svn-output-root>/download/source/to

    <svn-output-header>header.h

    <svn-output-source>source.cpp

  :

    <include>/download/source/to

  ;

#

# my_dependency_description_file.svn

#

http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2 $(root)

You may add multiple lines in .svn file.

PS.: Please, let me know any improvement.

The reason that this doesn't work is that
path.glob runs before the svn command.  To
make this work correctly, Boost.Build needs
to know all the targets that will be created
by your action.
