should read:
If you wish to build from source with Visual C++, you can use a simple build procedure described in this section. Open the command prompt and change your current directory to the Boost root directory. Then, type the following commands::
bootstrap .\bjam
The first command prepares the Boost.Build system for use. The second command invokes Boost.Build to build the separately-compiled Boost libraries. Please consult the `Boost.Build documentation`__ for a list of options that can be passed to ``bjam``.
Thanks for review -- I have copy-pasted the above wording, generated HTML, checked in to trunk and merged to release branch.
[Note: "C++ Boost," while possibly implied by the old logo, is not the name of our project. It's either "Boost" or "The Boost C++ Libraries"]
Ah, I did not know and though "C++ Boost" is the canonical spelling. Thanks for clarifying. - Volodya
