ISO boost library help

[Nellis, Kenneth]

Trying unsuccessfully (so far) to use the Cygwin-provided boost libraries. The 
only boost-related package I saw was boost-build, which I've installed.

$ cygcheck -c boost-build
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
boost-build          1.63.0-1       OK
$

Google seems to be telling me that I have to build (compile) the libraries with 
bjam, but finding no relevant documentation on how to do that from the Cygwin 
package.

$ pwd
/usr/share/boost-build
$ ls -l
total 5
-rw-r--r--  1 knellis Domain Users 267 May 19 04:44 boost-build.jam
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 knellis Domain Users   0 Oct 24 12:01 example
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 knellis Domain Users   0 Oct 24 12:01 src
$ bjam

Would appreciate some pointers.

boost-build needs a better description
