Sorry, I was out of town with not internet access.

I looked into this and while boost-jam should be removed as a dependency of
boost, I think we should keep the boost-jam spell. bjam can be used as an
alternative to make, cmake, etc. I am not aware of any large projects using 
it.
Given the alternatives, I'm not sure why you would. However, a user may wish 
to
use it for one of their own projects. 

That said, the chances of anyone ever using boost-jam is most-likely very low.
It seems that very few people ever use it. Should it not be maintained it I
vote it be depreciated. There are already enough spells in the grimoire that
are unmaintained and no longer cast properly. 

For the sake of supporting as much as we can, I will try to maintain boost-jam
every now and again, if no one else wishes to. I will remove boost's 
dependency
on boost-jam and update boost-jam in a bit. However, I have no qualms if 
anyone
wishes to depreciate it.
