  So making the guide easier seems easiest.

  I'm working on it. Honestly. It's just that I
  only have one or two hours every other night,
  when I'm already tired.
  I plan to check what I have with my fellow-
  workers first, will probably try to improve it
  afterwards, and only then show it here. I
  guess I'll then need some help to get the
  things right which require knowledge of
  Boost.Build (which I still try to avoid to
  aquire, to tackle this less biased <g>) and
  maybe some help to put some more links into
  Boost.Build at the appropriate places.
