[Boost-build] Can boost jam run external scripts

I need to run a unix script prior to starting compilation and I was 
wondering if I can somehow specify inside the Jamfile to run the unix 
script before starting compilation.

I read a section in the boost-build v2 documentation 
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/faq/external.html but I don't think 
that is what I want to do, I just want to run the script and that's it I 
don't need to capture the output for use as the compile and link inputs.

Regards,

Patrick
