It's so much of documentation there just for building (bjam.exe,
boost-build, BoostRegex, boost itself, ohh...), I think it's even more
of it then documentation for boost using itself :).
At the end I found out the http://www.boostpro.com/download/ and
settled up everything just by one click - I think it will be very good
to put this link on the boost site because it's pointless to build
libraries for Windows. (never mind).
