#9686: Provide cmd file for building both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries on Windows
with Microsoft Visual C++

   Status:  new          |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building     |    Version:  Boost 1.54.0
  Boost                  |   Keywords:  build, Windows, Microsoft Visual
 Severity:               |  C++

-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 It would make sense to provide a cmd file to automate bootstrapping and
 building both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries (in the Debug and Release
 configurations) on Windows (placing them under stage32 and stage64,
 respectively). Running bootstrap and b2 with no command-line arguments as
 recommended in the Getting Started guide will build only 32-bit libraries.
 In order to build 64-bit libraries, one has to consult bjam docs to figure
 out which parameters/options to use. Since targeting both 32-bit, and
 64-bit architectures is quite common for developers working under Windows,
 having a batch file to automate Boost library builds for both
 architectures in one go will save them some time and effort.
