   Well, docs are in need of some major updating. :-(

   Some related links are:

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/conditions.html
http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/targets.html#bbv2.advanced.targets.requirements

   Built-in feature documentation may be located at:

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/builtins/features.html

   but is bound to be missing some features.

   Also, some rules (e.g. different toolset initialization rules) may 
have their own feature-like parameters that they parse themselves.

   For the most part I just grep through existing Boost Build toolsets 
or if I know a command line parameter I would like it to mode it I might 
grep for that to see if it is already modeled by some feature.

   If you run into undocumented features feel free to send documentation 
patches, post reports to this list, or even better to the Boost Build 
issue tracker at:

   http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build

   Hope this helps.
