[C++-sig] Building tutorial example out of the boost tree, on Windows

[Raghvendra Jain]

Hi,

Placing  user-config.jam in your %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
location, and configured Python inside it, is very crucial step.

I spent like 4 days while trying to build it without following this step.
Please see the tutorial with the link below:

Cheers,
Raghav
