FEATURES
-> Jam is very portable: it runs on UNIX, VMS, Mac, and NT.
Most Jamfiles themselves are portable, like the sample above.
-> Jam is unintrusive: it is small, it has negligible CPU
overhead, and it doesn't create any of its own funny files
(c.f. Odin, nmake, SunOS make).
-> Jam can build large projects spread across many directories
in one pass, without recursing, tracking the relationships
among all files. Jam can do this with multiple, concurrent
processes.
-> Jam isn't under the blinkin GNU copyright, so you can
incorporate it into commercial products.
