That one is first mentioned here:

http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step5

It points you to the Boost.Build.v1 documentation (yes it's very sparse 
documentation). But the documentation as to what the different 
possibilities for the BUILD request is in the source of BBv1. 
Specifically all the standard, some toolset have additional ones, 
settings (features) are mentioned at:

http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/build_system.htm#feature_description

Which has a reference to:

http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/features.jam
