This is V1 syntax. You can learn about V2 syntax in
http://boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html as well as V2 docs:

Likewise, this is V1 syntax, please refer to Python example for V2
syntax.

Please add

        using python ;

to tools/build/v2/user-config.jam, as otherwise the 'quickstart' project
won't get any python support whatsoever. Dave, do you think some doc change,
or code change is required to solve this issue?
