    Yes. I figured this bit out. I noted in another post.
    
    This was daunting at first. It is conforting to see a
    ./configure, because I know exactly where to go from there.

    There were confusing errors because I mistook an executable in
    Reece's gui.zip for a generated executable, and the error
    messages made absolutely no sense. It really threw me.

    Now that that issue has been resolved, Boost.Build is beginning
    to explain itself.
