I'm afraid that full tree is needed now and I'm not sure what can be done 
about it now. I think that for Boost.Build V2 will just have a separate rpm
which would allow building 3rd party packages. This might be possible
with V1, although I'm not sure I have the time (and access to Redhat box ;-) )
