Where am I supposed to get b2.exe and bjam.exe everyone else uses to build boost?

I have (again) problems with boost library, specifically with zlib/iostreams part, which is due (again) errors in that release of boost - there were some changes in zlib library which didn't reflect to that boost release.

I wasn't the only one to have that problem but I seem to be the only one who doesn't know what is that bjam.exe everyone talks about as if it was built-in command on windows. Apparently, I myself used that command in the past, but that's 2 years ago.

I tried this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-jam/3.1.18/ but all I got was more cursed sourcecode.

So where did I get it? Where can I get it now?

You need to run either bootstrap.sh or bootstrap.bat depending on your OS first (you can also run it with --help key for a parameter list in case you want to make any adjustments in the configuration, but for a default build running it without any parameters at all works fine). It will configure boost for building and create b2 and bjam.
