It surely would not help, because for boost build docs the master file could 
be either tools/build/v2/doc/src/userman.xml or doc/src/boost.xml. 

OTOH, the relative path from v2/doc/src/extending.xml to 
v2/example/customization is always the same, that's why it would be very 
handy to have source-relative links.
