[boost] Boost.Thread and BoostBook

From: Michael Glassford (glassfordm_at_[hidden])

The Boost.Thread documentation in the thread_dev branch in CVS appears 
to have been partially converted to BoostBook format. I've been hoping 
to build it to take a look and see what state it's in currently, then 
update pieces as I work on them.

As a preliminary step, I've been trying to follow the instructions at 
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boostbook.getting.started.html for 
building the Boost documentation that has already been converted to 
BoostBook but am getting errors. As I'm not very fluent yet with either 
bjam or BoostBook, I'd appreciate some help.

FYI: I'm trying to use it on WinXP Pro without CygWin. I've already 
downloaded libxml, libxslt, and iconv libraries and made sure all of the 
pre-built utilities are on the system path. I've downloaded source for 
bjam and built it just today.

The problem is that when I run "bjam --v2" I get the output at the end 
of this message and nothing builds. Any suggestions?

Mike
