<snip>I unzipped the Windows one in E:\Utilities\lzma\xz523 and my user-config.jam line for x32 builds is:

using lzma : 5.2.3 : <search>E:/Utilities/lzma/xz523/bin_i686 <include>E:/Utilities/lzma/xz523/include ;

while my user-config.jam line for x64 builds is:

using lzma : 5.2.3 : <search>E:/Utilities/lzma/xz523/bin_x86-64 <include>E:/Utilities/lzma/xz523/include ;

You don't necessarily need to switch user-config.jam. You can use the requirements argument to control which library is selected for a particular build variant: using lzma : 5.2.3 : <search>... <include>... : <address-model>32 ;

...

I use different user-config.jam files when doing x32 and x64 version of compilers, each of which gets symbolically linked to user-config.jam at the right time.

Can those be configured via CMake?

You can configure it from the command line with LZMA_INCLUDE/LZMA_LIBRARY_PATH.

Is there full documentation over what the site-/user-config.jam file can contain?

Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it? There's documentation zlib and bzip2 via b2 --help zlib, but that doesn't really help for lzma. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
