(sorry for late response but I'm catching up on a backlog of boost msgs)
I like this and also the idea you (david) mentioned that it should be 
possible to create a boost.build system for any project in no time.

This is exactly what I want to do and will try to help you with that 
(although an build-system update has very low priority at the moment).

I'm happy you checked in the sources of boost.build. This way, we (I) 
can start checking if it's as portable as the perforce Jam (remember : 
the FTJam wan'nt).

Do you plan an checking in also a todo list containing the todo's with 
the results of the discussions which then can be easily picked up by 
somebody if he finds some time ?
