Gentelmen,
Apparently, ISO 9660, including Levels 2 and 3, does not allow names containing more than one dot character (see, for instance, http://www.gnscd.com/iso.htm). The requirement has always been present in our file/directory naming guidelines -- http://www.boost.org/more/lib_guide.htm#Directory_structure, but was never checked/inforced. As the result, currently we have quite a number of files (249!) that will have to be renamed before we can put them on an ISO 9660 CD -- see http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/names_with_dots.html.
Note that this doesn't include BoostBook-generated documentation (since it is not in the current CVS), which uses multiple dots convention for the generated HTMLs all over the place.
