IMHO, I would reorder things to

2. Place the Boost.Jam binary, called "bjam" or "bjam.exe", somewhere in 
your PATH. Verify that the correct bjam is being executed by running "bjam 
--version". You should get [ENTER MILESTONE VERSION]
3. Configure toolsets to use: Open new/user-config.jam file and follow 
instructions there to specify what compiles/libraries you have and where 
they are located.
4. You should now be able to go to examples-v2/hello, and run bjam there. A 
simple application will be build. You can also play with other projects in 
examples-v2.

Apologies about being so pedantic, thanks for providing such a great tool 
to the community

Cheers - Ansgar
