100. Look for all issues for current milestone in the tracker. Close the fixed one,
11   if not already closed. Move to a later milestone, or fix all the unfixed
12   ones.
13
14   Make sure that "bjam --version" output is correct. Update version string if
15   needed. Update bjam version and the version check is necessary.
16   Check the download locations in "index.html". Check that "last modified"
17   string in index.html is correct.

191. Make sure you don't have any local modification, and create SVN directory
20
21	https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/build/Milestone_X

23   Then, copy:
24
25        https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/tools/build

39
405. Unpack "boost-build.tar.bz2", and build jam.
41
426. Go to "test" and copy "test-config-example.jam" to "test-config.jam".
43   If you're not ghost, edit test-config.jam to specify all the right paths.
44   Run gcc tests:
45
46      python test_all.py gcc --extras
