Thanks, I can use a little more help on understanding the --help output :)

My understanding of --help output is that,

For getting both release and debug static windows binaries (with /MT)
I need to do

  release debug link=static runtime-link=static

And for linux/mac build, I should be using

  release debug link=static runtime-link=shared

(Because, IMHO, on linux the c++ runtime shouldn't be linked
statically, right? And I am guessing Mac works a bit like linux).

Is it ok to specify both debug and release like that? And I am
assuming that threading=multi is the default, so doesn't needs to be
specified. And is my syntax correct, because the --help output says
"<link>static" etc and I am not sure what this syntax means.

My complete command line will look like, on windows,
  bjam release debug link=static runtime-link=static
--stagedir=".\win_x86" stage

My apologies if I am sounding stupid, but do let me know if I am
missing something.
Thanks again.
