What I plan to do is:

1. Create boost.build.main function that bjam will call immediately after 
starting.

2. Provide a function "bjam.export" to Python, that will take a Python 
callable, and expose it to bjam as a rule of specified name.

3. Provide a function "bjam.load" to Python, that will load a specified jam 
file.

So, PyBB will export a number of rules and then start calling bjam.load as 
appropriate.

Anybody sees anything wrong with this?
