You don't have to use bjam! I have built my projects with distutils and
CMake, and never once touched bjam; CMake provides find_package scripts
for Boost, Python and NumPy, and for distutils, I just include the
relevant files and flags in my project.

See [1] for a CMake example, and [2] for a distutils example.
