Because David, Vladimir, Rene et al. are hard at work on Boost.Build, the
prebuilt jam.boost executables are not in sync with the CVS HEAD and thus
can't be used to compile the CVS at the moment.
If you want to compile the CVS using jam, you might first want to recompile
boost.jam yourself. But the upshot is that recompiling jam is really easy.

To recompile boost.jam, you just need to go to the tools/build/jam_src
directory (on the CVS HEAD) and type make. This almost suffices for all unix
platforms (on HP you need to make sure to add the flag '-Ae' in the makefile,
on HP and IBM you best also define YYACC as being empty using `export
YYACC=`). Well, if you hit trouble, just let me know.
