Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0   |   Component:  Documentation

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The --toolset option tends to confuse folks -- they try to add "--" in
 front of other things, like "variant". Since "--toolset=" and "toolset="
 are equivalent, the best solution is to use "toolset=" in getting started,
 and leave "--toolset" in code for backward compatibility.
