Speaking of documentation and the final release, every time I have to build boost from scratch I have to scrounge third party distros for boost documentation (like Ubuntu or Fedora), because it seems that there is no way to centralize and install the docs. If you're already building and adding docs to the final release, can you also add an optional install hook so that they may all install in one location (like share/doc/).

Not really, as there's a lot of documentation that isn't built, and the documentation that is built often links to files in the boost tree, or uses images from the boost tree. So if we built the documentation at another destination, there would be a lot of files missing.

Then how are the files for the website documentation (i.e., http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/) build? Or are those also embedded in the boost tree? (At times I've been tempted just to wget everything under the latter url, since the distro docs I resort to usually are missing css and image files, sometimes the important ones.) Thanks, Mostafa
