Currently, the Boost root contains the following files:
boost-build.jam boostcpp.jam boostcpp.py bootstrap.bat bootstrap.sh Jamroot
which are part of Boost.Build and so their rightful place is in the submodule.
No, they are needed to _build_ all other Boost libraries. They are not part of Boost.Build itself, which works fine without those files.
I understand the distinction, in principle, between Boost.Build as a general build system and Boost.Build as what builds Boost, and from such a point of view, I'm sure you're right. But in practice, I think that these two parts (a) are tightly coupled and need to be updated in lockstep and (b) are maintained by the same people at the same time. So from a physical organization point of view, they seem the same module to me.
