second paragraph 'see the full build system documentation` should be 
hyperlinked to the full build system doc.

in the `Tools available` section, some toolsets use a different font 
(are not inbetween <code> </code>).

When referring to the prebuilt jam executables, I would refer to them as 
jamboost instead of just jam. Otherwise, people might think that a 
perforce jam executable will do also.

I would phrase it like : "The boost.build system is an extension of <a 
href="...">Perforce Jam</a>, a portable make replacement". The link is 
now obvious.
