Please note the missing "-" on the feature definitions and toolset. Yes, it is unfortunate that b2 has three different option types targeting the different build system levels, but that is all documented. And the modular concepts makes it quite hard to detect "wrong" options.
B2 is indeed the Outer-Mongolia of computer 'languages'. It would be difficult to devise a more confusing 'syntax'. And I don't think it is very helpfully documented - we need 'B2/Bjam and Boost for Dummies'. As a result Insanity Rules OK. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 01539 561830
