+Users are sometimes confused about what Boost.Build does and why, and what's
+Jamfile, anyway. We can do this:
+
+Jamfiles of all project should start with comment saying this is Boost.Build
+file, and giving link to the list of rules to be used in Jamfile and jam
+syntax.
+
+We probably can have a version of --debug-building that is less verbose
+and more user-oriented:
+{{{
+building exe:foo/bar with debug/threading=multi
+
+installing foo:....
+}}}
+
+Maybe, for C++ Boost it would be valuable to list libraries that
+will be built in even more apparent format:
+{{{
+Boost version 1.35.0
