boost pre-build binaries for android & build steps

######This is a simple tutorial for building boost on android platform. if you dont like pre-build binaries, do following steps:

1. prepare environment, make sure cygwin is installed if you work on windows.
2. execute ./bootstrap.sh to generate compile tools.
3. edit project-config.jam or user-config.jam, add following lines, you can change building libs or compiler flags as your wish.
4. execute ./b2 toolset=gcc-android4.9 link=static threading=multi target-os=linux --stagedir=android, or replace args for your own.

# define platform name of ndk
import os ;
if [ os.name ] = CYGWIN || [ os.name ] = NT 
{  
    androidPlatform = windows-x86_64 ;  
}  
else if [ os.name ] = LINUX 
{  
    androidPlatform = linux-x86_64 ;  
}  
else if [ os.name ] = MACOSX 
{  
    androidPlatform = darwin-x86 ;  
}

# replace with your own path
ANDROID_NDK = "D:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r12b" ;

# compile with gcc, you can change compiler to clang or others
