Hmm, I didn't know --help had further parameters, it doesn't follow from 
this description given in 'b2 --help':

   --help                  This message.

Is there a way to see all modules? Rules? Properties? Something similar 
to 'cmake 
--help-commands/--help-variables/--help-command-list/--help-variable-list'?
