Also, how can I build the html docs myself from the distributed xml? It looks like I need the "boost v2" build stuff, but I don't know what that means.
In fact, "boost build v2" is the simplest thing of all, because it's already in boost. You'd need to get XSLT processor and Docbook and configure them as described in
http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/boostbook.ge...
After that, running "bjam --v2" in the "doc" directory should produce a bunch of html files.
1. Had to build new bjam from boost_1_31_0 jam-src. 2.
