I've never used Jam before. I'll take a look.
It may be a good idea to take the documentation from the side http://beta.boost.org/doc/ instead of the side http://www.boost.org/doc/ There seem to be some subtle issues that sometimes prevent the proper updating of the documentation at http://www.boost.org/doc/ (track tickets for this have been filled multiple times). This has hit me when I tried to learn Boost.Build, because I downloaded the (extremely) outdated manual http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/tools/build/v2/doc/userman.pdf instead of the current one http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/tools/build/v2/doc/userman.pdf and then subscribed to boost.build asking silly questions that would have been covered at length in the current version of the manual. A recent message from Steven Watanabe ("This has been available on the beta site since November http://beta.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0?view=categorized but hasn't been merged to the live site.") just reminded me of this, so I checked and found out that the problems are not resolved yet. I learned from the comments at the tickets that this is something more subtle/difficult than a simple merge, but as long as these issues are not resolved, it seems better to recommend http://beta.boost.org/doc instead of http://www.boost.org/doc.
