Lots of updates, both small and large, to the BoostBook format and its 
transformating, including:

  - Every declaration now takes a purpose (short description) and a 
description (longer description). No more loose <para> elements. 
  - Lots of attributes have been removed in favor of elements. This includes 
(at least):
    + function return-type is now in the type element
    + comment attributes (for typedefs, template parameters, etc.) are now 
picked up from the <purpose> element (this is how things will work in 
general)
    + default values for template and function parameters, along with static 
constant values, are specified with the <default> element
  - Nested classes are now supported 
  - Formatting of <purpose> elements as comments is smarter
  - Function specifiers now supported ("explicit", "virtual", etc.)
