I don't think a C++ programmer with a programming level to write a Boost library would have any problem to write a Jamfile copy-pasting from any library.
LOL - as such a programmer I can tell you you're wrong! I don't think you can make a working Jamfile by cutting and pasting. I have to go back to the bjam documentation and then almost always post a question on the list. Bjam may have it's advantages - but simplicity, transparency and ease of use are not among them.
