I'm qiete sure it is possible to tell eclipse to use a custom command 
for building the project, so that you can easily use jam instead of make.

All active developers are running linux. We do use portable libraries and 
I also cross-compile each release for win32, but from our side 
(which means: do it yourself and we'll be happy to include it) you won't
get things like instructions on how to build on windows or project files 
for windows IDEs.

I don't think many people have that problem, also we can't just explain 
how to setup all IDEs out there which we never used ourselfes... So it 
this isn't worth the time writing it down IMO, but if someone does we'll 
be happy to put it on the homepage.
