I will add them.
Also, I tried to add an initial Jamfile to build and run the tests as well.
I
just modified the Jamfile from other boost libraries. However, I haven't
figured out how to run the tests yet using bjam to test my Jamfile. I get
"error: Did not find Jamfile.jam or Jamroot.jam in any parent directory". I
am
not sure how I am supposed to run the tests.
