<p>
      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 3.1.19 of BJam and is based on version 2.4 of Jam/MR:
