Exactly. So here's a trivial addendum.

A default built specification might be what you are missing in your Jamroot

# Jamroot contet follows #
project myproject
 : default-build <address-model>32
 ;

exe mything
 : main.cpp /boost//program_options
 ;
# Jamroot content stops here#

1. bjam
2. bjam address-model=64

1. uses the default i.e. address-model=32.

So far so good. But It seems you can't put conditional defaults such as

project myproject
 : default-build <target-os>windows:<address-model>32 #NOWAY
 ;

Is it so horrible? Well I don't think so, but It would be handy to have such
conditional properties.

I guess everyone using boost-build has the boot source sitting around and

I see you point. I like to be free to compile the way you are compiling.
