Comment:
I have checked in a change to make the 'Invocation' section of Boost.Build
explicitly list the address-model feature. Now that getting started guide
directly links to the invocation section, I think the discovery process is
sufficiently streamlined.
As for building both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries by default, this does not
seem to be a good idea to me -- we're trying to move away from 'build 8
variants and eat 4GB of disk space' approach take earlier. Therefore, I am
not planning to do this. If you disagree, it would be best to discuss this
on the mailing list, where real Windows experts and users may be able to
comments on approaches.
