Subject: [boost] build of 1.56.0 has no tools/build/v2

Hi,

The build has changed or the docs
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install
are correct and tools/build/v2 is missing

There is a bootstrap.sh in tools/build and I used it successfully
And then built the libs I needed so I'm guessing the docs on getting
started aged slightly.

I didn't need tools/build/v2/user-config.jam this time

but do see the bootstrap build of bjam produces a
./build.tool/share/boost-build/example/user-config.jam

For new users maybe a little cleanup on getting started would be helpful
