I did read the documentation first....  (And it's a copy & paste of  
an existing line in the file.)

OK, I tried Boost.Build out:

1. Since I'm loading from SVN, I'm have to make sure bjam is always  
generated after an update.  I have this in a shell script:

//=================================
MY_HOME=~
MY_PROGRAMMING="$MY_HOME"/Documents/Programming
MY_BOOST="$MY_PROGRAMMING"/Boost
MY_BOOST_SVN="$MY_BOOST"/main-svn/boost-trunk

echo "Updating Boost Main SVN"
cd "$MY_BOOST_SVN"
svn update
echo "Rebuilding Boost.Jam for SVN"
cd "$MY_BOOST_SVN"/tools/jam/src
sh ./build.sh
cp bin.macosxppc/bjam "$MY_HOME"/bin/bjam-svn
rm -rf bootstrap
rm -rf bin.macosxppc
//=================================

Is there a better way to do this?  Is making the final executable be  
named "bjam-svn" bad?  Calling "bjam-svn --version" gets me  
"Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12) Boost.Jam 03.1.17" (on two lines).  It  
properly uses the "darwin" toolset when building.

2. I put $MY_BOOST down as my $BOOST_BUILD_PATH, so I wouldn't have  
to put the *-config.jam files in my home directory.  My copies of the  
latest Boost download and the subversion repository are also in this  
directory.  Will that mess anything up?  What's the "site-config.jam"  
file for anyway?  Only one line was uncommented in "user-config.jam",  
the "using gcc ;" line.  Is this suitable for a Mac OS X (10.4.11)  
system?

3.  When I tried out the hello example, I got:

//=================================
