But I was hoping to use it to document any (including
boost files), not just the demo files.
That's why I wanted to install it.

Because on at least one of the Makefiles I downloaded
the *.py and *.pyc file list was incomplete. The above
suggested change would get all of them.

I checked out the cvs version a few days ago; so, maybe it's
uptodate now. Checking:

.../Synopsis/Linker/Makefile?rev=1.10

illustrates the problem I'm referring to. The 1.11 revision
(changed 2hrs 20min ago) corrects the problem. But it
wouldn't be there with the above suggested change.

And you're using the cvs version?
