+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1).</para>
+
+ <para>Jam recursively builds target files from source files, using
+ dependency information and updating actions expressed in the
+ Jambase file, which is written in jam's own interpreted language.
+ The default Jambase is compiled into jam and provides a
+ boilerplate for common use, relying on a user-provide file
+ "Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources.</para>
