Correction, it's Jamroot that depends on libs/config, not tools/build.
Interesting, I didn't know about that and removed the manual checkout of libs/config in a few libraries with the intention that it is pulled by depinst.py. Is this not a valid change? It would be nice if we didn't have to checkout *any* submodules except boostdep (and the library to test, of course) and then depinst would checkout everything required to run the tests.
