Thanks, but that does not work for me either.

/home/zbynek/boost-build/build/feature.jam:240: in implied-feature from 
module feature
error: "variant<release>" is not a value of an implicit feature

I am using the m10 release (as are my colleagues). Does it require the 
latest cvs?

I find the current doc hard to use. I has many sections with 
less-than-clear titles and is useless for search (it would need to be a 
single page for the in-browser search). IMHO there should be a 
'tutorial' intended for sequential reading and a large reference section 
with everything in it (preferably just once ;-)). It would be helpful if 
the reference section had a TOC page with clear and describing titles to 
be able to search for things (or it could be just a single page, 
although large).
