   Ok. Btw. does this 'no-touchy' rule hold only for bjam C sources or 
for other Boost Build/Jam code as well?

   IMHO it is better practice to nibble at complicated code, make it 
cleaner piece by piece, then to say 'this is too complicated, do not 
touch it if it ain't broken'. Makes the code much less fragile in the 
end and eventually even removes/reduces the complication.
