 Hi,

 http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#zip


 Build type isn't mentioned in the getting started guide.
 Minimal, the default, does not include debug libs. But on Windows, those
 are required for projects compiled in debug mode (like, eh, all projects
 sometimes are).
 So I think at least this flag should be mentioned in the getting started
 guide.
 Changing the default to include debug libs would he even better.

 Greetings

   --build-type=<type>     Build the specified pre-defined set of
 variations
                           of the libraries. Note, that which variants get
                           built depends on what each library supports.

                               minimal (default) - Builds the single
                               "release" version of the libraries. This
                               release corresponds to specifying:
                               "release <threading>multi <link>shared
                               <runtime-link>shared" as the Boost.Build
                               variant to build.

                               complete - Attempts to build all possible
                               variations.
