Hi,

The basic support for building Boost for Android comes from:
https://github.com/MysticTreeGames/Boost-for-Android/
This contains a script that downloads boost, patches it (creating
android.jam) and then builds it. I've attached android.jam. The script is
meant to build  Boost for Android on ARM, I changed the user-config.jam a
litle to allow it to build for Android on x86.

Thanks,
Shlomy
