I just quoted a wrong place.. Look at this variant. I changed a lot.

We compiled a version of bjam executable (bjam.exe or bjam) for you, and 
tested it with Boost release. We strongly recommend you simply to 
download prebuilt bjam for your platform:
- <a>windows</a>
- <a>linux</a>
- <a>freebsd</a>
- <a>solaris</a>
- <a>Mac OS X</a>
If your platform isn't in the list, or if you downloaded the latest 
Boost beta sources from CVS instead of official Boost release, 
<a>installation guide</a> describes how to compile bjam from sources 
located in tools/build/jam_src by running build.bat or build.sh.
Latest Boost sources may fail to compile with prebuilt bjam because 
prebuilt version could become incompatible with Boost *.jam files.
