I cannot easily see how this relates to the boostbook toolchain in 
Boost.Build.

One can alway use external tools, and perhaps it would be best for the 
current boostbook tool to be able to specify external renderers as an 
option.

e.g.

using boostbook : path/to/dtd : path/to/xsl : xsltproc ;
or
using boostbook : path/to/dtd : path/to/xsl : renderx ;

I don't know if this would be possible at all, but you get the idea?
