Description
Documentation about how to build boost using the x64 compiler with for example msvc should be included in the documentation.
After a lot of searching it looks like you should add "address-model=64" to bjam (se boost user list).

Also, "architecture" option documentation needs to be added (address-model alone is not sufficient to choose Itanium target).
