Hi Boosters!

Call me stupid and naïve but I wonder what the rationale is for choosing to 
develop(?) and use a special build system tool (bjam) instead of relying on a 
more well-known and proven tool like gnu-make?

PS. I've scanned the boost.org site but I was not able to find any information 
regarding this...
