Bundling?!

Not so long ago I tried to build this package. I haven't gone too far,
but there is the pre-pre-alpha-version of the spec-file I've created
[1].
I have simply commented out the whole /boost-subproject

 boost-path = [ path.make ../boost_libraries ] ;
 }

-use-project /boost : $(boost-path) ;
+#use-project /boost : $(boost-path) ;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and with the resulting jamroot.jam file the package can be built in
koji (see [2]) with following build requirements:

BuildRequires:  boost-jam tbb-devel boost-build boost-devel

My understanding of this bjam build-system is yet unclear, but it
seems it can use system-wide boost libraries.
