Re: [Boost-build] boost jam and gob files

I can see the doc.
Unfortunately, the instructions are very specific to
the boost variant of jam. Whilst I am using the boost
variant myself, other team members are using the
perforce version. This is because the boost version
is not fully supported on minGW (that will have to be
the subject of a separate thread). So our Jamfiles
need to stick to the perforce-jam subset.

Specifically,
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/extender.html#bbv2.extender.intro
should be usable to accomplish the goal of ".gob" -> ".c" conversion.

Andrew,
can you tell if you've seen that document? If no, what can be do to make it
easily available. If yes, what can be improved in it?
