can we put a Jamfile and/or a Jamroot in git repository of a boost library? We develop odeint in a separate github repository and we have a Jamroot there to build the library without the boost super-project. To merge our changes into the official boost odeint repository we want to pull from the development repository. I am a bit afraid that this Jamfile/Jamroot might disturb the build process of boost.

A Jamfile shouldn't cause any problems. Jamroot could cause a problem if you had a compiled library. (it would prevent you from inheriting the library name mangling code from Boost's Jamroot.) It also means that you'll need to do extra work to make sure that the <include>s are set correctly. <implicit-dependency>/boost//headers should work as long as you make sure that the Boost Jamroot is loaded.
