Boost.Jam (BJam) is the low-level build engine tool for <a href="http://boost.org/boost-build2" target="_top">Boost.Build</a>.
Historically, Boost.Jam is based on on FTJam and on <a href="http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html" target="_top">Perforce
Jam</a> but has grown a number of significant features and is now developed
independently, with no merge back expected to happen, and little use outside
Boost.Build.
</p>
<p>
This is version 3.1.18 of BJam and is based on version 2.4 of Jam/MR:
