It seems that bootstrap.sh is hard to move, it should be at the top level.

Why not:

#!/bin/sh exec submodule/booststrap_impl.sh

That would create a module with two or three files in it. Putting this in tools/build is not really appropriate, and that one is meant to be independent. It seems more trouble than doing cherry-pick.

I don't really want to get into an argument about this, as I don't care that much and it's a bit of a bike shed, but there are a lot of boost specific files that could go into a submodule, such as the test build. Maybe some of the documentation stuff as well. This submodule could also have wider write access than the super project.

BTW, that's a very good point because test failures markup are supposed to be writable for everyone, unless modularized too.
