[boost] boost build, install, and docs

I'm a newbie to boost who finds its ideas great. 
However, I do find that its build and install is
extremely incongruent to established free software
processes (ie autoconf, automake, make).  I was
wondering why this was so?  According to what I've
read, there seems to be a push to keep using jam. 
What would it take to move towards the more
established means of building and installing?

I also think it would be great if the documentation
were completely moved into a doc subdirectory to make
it easier to install.

Thanks,
Noel
