sorry for delay, thanks a lot for reply and fix
i've posted a ticket.

may be. in my project (as i wrote above) i have

doxygen index.html : [ path.glob-tree $(CORE)/Src : *.hpp ]

so index.html depends on many headers, but only for
headers that are targets for xml files it generates wrong paths
(that's why i posted that rules).
and after quick look at doxygen generator i didn't find where it changes
paths, so i decided that they are passed wrong when generator is invoking,
but i'm not very familiar to boost-build and it may be wrong.

i'll be without a computer for some time,
but i need this for a project, so i'll try to find the reason later if
it will not be fixed :)
