1) Shell scripts are different for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSs.
2) Please provide your "simple" shell script for any OS, much less all 
of them, that encapsulates the quickbook -> boostbook -> html/pdf 
process in jam files.

Try to understand that even if you do not use the quickbook -> boostbook 
-> html/pdf build process a great number of libraries do use it, for 
good reason, and those libraries are not going to re-invent the wheel 
just because you have an alternate method for creating documentation.
