Hi David,

Thank you for the great document.  It should help ease users into Boost. 
  I just have a couple of suggestions/comments.

In Section 4, would it be more intuitive to list those libraries that 
are header-only?  The topic heading is "Header-Only Libraries," but the 
list is non-header-only libraries.  Also, in terms of deciding if they 
need to compile boost, having a list of libraries that *don't* require 
compilation might be more useful.

In Section 6.3, the Unix command line is missing --toolset.  Some of the 
comments in that section (specifically the Note) imply that --toolset is 
mandatory.  Is it not needed?
