I agree. The problem we're starting with is that "bjam.exe" is not correlated to "Boost.Build" at all. Replacing "bjam.exe" with something totally random will only create more confusion.
When I suggested something correlated to Boost.Build, it was rejected. I'm having a hard time understanding what's wanted.
The issue is the name is required to have two properties: - Indicates that it is the Build tool under the Boost brand - But _doesn't_ suggest it is useful only for building the Boost C++ libraries With those criteria, I quite like "BBL", short for "the Boost Build Library", but prounceable as "bubble".
