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

[Raghvendra Jain]

Hi Gary,

You can forget bjam.
Just use b2 as written there in tutorial.
Just an additional comment, even if you are using x64 bit architecture, you
dont have to install 64 bit Python and 64 bit compiler for Visual studio.
Even if you use 32 bit Python and 32 bit Visual Studio C++ compiler, it
will work fine.

These instructions were written by my colleague and we worked together on
that, so please feel free to post some question if it doesn't work.

Cheers
Raghav
