I looked at the documentation in the sandbox:

   .../libs/policy_ptr/doc/header.html#class-smart_ptr

and I'd like to emulate it.  Would tell me what tools helped you do
this?  I noted that on the acknowledgments.html page you have a link
with William Kempf 's name; however, when I followed it, I got:

   .../boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/people/william_kempf.htm: unknown location

Is there's some other url documenting William's method?
