Some questions:

1. Why does this Jamfile build the example with sources included directly instead of referencing the library?

exe file_size : file_size.cpp <lib>@boost/libs/filesystem/build/boost_filesystem : <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) <sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT) ;

I can't remember the details, but I think it was to meet some short term need. Should be changed.

2. Why isn't there an entry to build simple_ls?

Sloth. I've added it to the do list. --Beman
