I did 4 google search on 'user_config.jam boost', they all linked to
deprecated documentation (they would not even be available from google
cache), so I simply gave up. I only need the PBGL part, from VTK which
is cmake based, so it seems more natural to use cmake for building
boost.

I admit I feel much more comfortable with cmake anyway, thus I did not
spent too much time on bjam.
