I tried to compile/execute some unit-tests. Unfortunately some files seam
to be missing (bootstrap.jam):

Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
/boost/boost-build.jam attempted to load the build system by invoking

   'boost-build tools/build/v2 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching /boost/tools/build/v2,
/usr/share/boost-build).

I did:
- git clone https://github.com/boost-lib/boost.git
- cd boost/libs
- git clone https://github.com/boost-lib/core.git
- cd core/test
- b2

Do I have to clone an additional submodule (which is not mentioned in the
docu)?
