Research direction

Start by checking the repository's README.md and the Boost distribution build guidance to determine the supported process after cloning. Document the steps in README.md or link to a maintained Wiki page, with enough detail for a user to build the latest program_options version independently.

Description

Building program_options as part of a boost distribution is easy. But if I clone this repository and want to build the latest version - how do I do that?

Either a README.md should explain this, or if you don't want to "pollute" the hierarchy with that file - at least a Wiki page here on GitHub, or a title link to somewhere explaining how to do it.
