Maybe I'll move the jamboost group to sourceforge.

I can send you zipped versions of everything if you like, or you can
get it from Boost CVS.

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586 describes how to get there.
Boost.Jam is in the boost/tools/build/jam_src module

Matt Armstrong's latest source is enclosed.
