Volodya,

I saw that you are supposed to use the bootstrap script, but it seemed
reasonable to make a bin directory, and from there run ccmake on the
boost-trunk directory. There was no option in the cmake configuration to not
build examples. Maybe this can be added for users who wish to use this
procedure.

I got around it by just using 'make -k'. I also reported the accumulator
example bug on the bug tracker.

Thanks for the quick reply,

David
