Hi,

  Just in case anyone interested, in attachment a svn source getter.

How to:

#
# build.jam
#
import svn ;

lib external_lib : my_dependency_description_file.svn
  :
    <svn-output-root>/download/source/to
    <svn-output-header>header.h
    <svn-output-source>source.cpp
  :
    <include>/download/source/to
  ;

#
# my_dependency_description_file.svn
#
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2 $(root)

You may add multiple lines in .svn file.

PS.: Please, let me know any improvement.
