Two suggestions:
1. The above page does not give the default values of the features. This should be added.
2. I think the documentation of how to build Boost should be made more user-friendly. There is a gap between the Getting Started Guide and the Reference Manual that should be bridged. What is needed I think, is to expand the Getting Started Guide, and describe, with plenty of examples, how to make simple customizations of the build. Right now the Getting Started Guide only describes how to do a default build.
I don't think that adding that to Getting Started is necessary. Instead, it should say have a link to a page describing general Boost.Build command line syntax, which in turn can list a few common features.
Great idea! --Johan
