This certainly would be a good idea.

The problem I see is, that boost 1.34 has specified an outdated (and 
unsupported) version of the stlport as belonging to the release set.

Nevertheless a newer version might well be working with boost, and so 
appropriate documentation would be helpful.

I got started by a hint from Volodya, who told me to look into the 
stlport.jam file, which has some plain text documentation in the header.

You might also want to look into my setup for the regression at:
