ASIO documentation is being built in the wrong place, which breaks a few links. I build it using something like 'cd doc && b2 -q asio'.

OK. I'll have to figure out why it's built in the wrong place when built indirectly from the root/doc dir.

I'm not sure which directory you mean as the wrong place. It's supposed to be built under 'doc/html', which might be seen as wrong, but moving it would break links.

1. I really, really, really, don't want to maintain manual lists of this stuff any longer. It's horribly error prone..

Guessing based on directory structure isn't much better. Btw. you also need to check for 'libs/*/*/doc/', in order to generate documentation for numeric/odeint, spirit/repository, functional/factory and functional/forward. All of these have a 'sublibs' file, so maybe only when that exists.

2. That list already misses some standalone docs. For example predef :-(

You're checking the built documentation in, so I don't overwrite it.

3. Since library authors don't know that manual list existed new libraries where not included.

I check every new library before it's released. so new libraries aren't a problem. At least if the list is in the Jamfile people will be more likely to find it than if it's in separate build file. I've never been particularly happy that I had to maintain a separate layer around the build system.
