Jam Syntax - Syntax Reference

 I am trying to learn the Jamfile syntax used in v2, which looks
nothing like the synax described by any of the Jam resources.

I'm reading through the ./kernel/class.jam file. I'm beginning
to see where bjam ends ends and Boost.Build begins.

I've found a reference for Jam syntax, things like:

.loaded ?= ;

Over at Perforce. I'm wondering if there are signficant changes
between Perforce Jam and Boost Jam. I need to be able tell what
is part of the langauge, and what is implemented in Boost.Build
in Jam syntax.

http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html (for the record)

Cheers.
