The README is the best.  There is also the Chapter from the TAO 
1.4a Developer's Guide that can be found here:
http://downloads.ociweb.com/MPC/MakeProjectCreator.pdf

You can also take a look at the mpc files in the boost vault.
http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/index.php?PHPSESSID=kk5srbfv8nefn8mhg7h7v8qan5&direction=0&order=&directory=Miscellaneous
When these were created you could build all/most (don't remember) 
of Boost with them.

Also feel free to email me with any questions.  Off list is fine.
