Yes, of course. What I had in mind was to replace it with something like

    include tools/build/boost-jamroot.jam ;

(or whatever the proper syntax is) for example. But I see that those

    path-constant BOOST_ROOT : . ;
    constant BOOST_VERSION : 1.58.0 ;
    constant BOOST_JAMROOT_MODULE : $(__name__) ;

might still need to be a part of it.
