The actual bjam file involved was for Vicente Botet Escriba's bitfield 
library so maybe he will read your reply and make the appropriate 
changes if he still has to. Once I did an SVN update on his library, the 
documentation was already there and so I did not try to build it again. 
Needless to say his jamfile should be correct but my goal was just to 
read the docs for bitfield.
