I thought "define" was more generic and applicable for both of C and C++ code 
(cflags and cxxflags).
It would be nice to have a cookbook for buliding boost for different scenarios 
(Linux/Windows-x86/x64-thraeding-runtime...), specially for optimization.

1)Open up a command prompt
2)cd boost_1_36_0 \tools\jam\src
3)build.bat
4)cd boost_1_36_0
