<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Boost.Build's behaviour can be controlled by setting of variables either
from the shell environment or using the
"<code>-s<i>VARIABLE_NAME</i>=</code><i>value</i>" Jam command line option.
Most of these variables are used internally and don't need to be
manipulated by the user.</p>
