Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/ix01.html has links to 64-bit
 building instructions for msvc.

 Your other point is about building both sets of compiled libraries. As far
 as pre-compiled installer goes, I think this is outside the scope of this
 issue. Those installers are provided by BoostConsulting, so you can report
 the problem directly to them. As for building both sets of libraries, I'm
 not sure either. I believe 1.35.* will build a single variant by default.
 You can request extra variants on the command line.

 So, that leaves one issue, is that you suggest that 32-bit and 64-bit
 binaries be placed to different 'stage' directories. Is that right?

 As for your last issue -- do you have file C:\code\Version9\boost\Jamroot?
 It seems like something is seriously wrong with your source tree.
