 Hi there.
 I cannot install boost under mingw.
 Accordingly to documentation i should start with
 bootstrap.bat  without arguments in tools\build\ but it fails to run with
 reason:
 "'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command"

 (of course it is not recognized, i don't have visual studio at all!)

 While i'm trying to run .\bootstrap.bat mingw i've got
 'Unknown toolset: mingw'

 Please, create rigth documentation to build it under mingw so that user
 should'n
 try different propositions like from
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38103244/building-boost-1-61-0-with-

 mingw-5-3-0
 which doesn't work
