It hasn't build with that syntax in years (edit, just saw it's from 
2017), Intel's MPI does not support the -show* options family (and don't 
plan to).
There is a specific piece of doc for that in:
  http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.config
I have no clue where the "using mpi"... is it called a directive ?.. is 
implemented, and if I did, I don't know how to detect we're using 
Intel's Implementation with bjam, nor how to pass the retrieved options, 
nor to what.

The documentation layout is not great, not sure if it improved, but the 
documentation system at the time was an in house tool with install 
instructions scattered here and there so...

Cheers,

Alain
