[boost] Problems building PDF documentation

While building PDFs for standalone libraries (BB2 is one example) works
without a glitch, we were unable to build the master "boost.pdf", due to 
what appears to be a problem in FOP:

    ...
    fop-nt ..\bin.v2\doc\debug\boost.pdf
    [INFO] FOP 0.20.4

    C:/PROGRA~1/FOP-02~1.4/fop.bat  ..\bin.v2\doc\debug\boost.fo  ..\bin.v2\doc\debug\boost.pdf 

    ...failed fop-nt ..\bin.v2\doc\debug\boost.pdf...
    ...failed updating 1 target...

This is using:

    xsltproc --version
        xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20614, libxslt 10111 and libexslt 809
        libxslt 10111 was compiled against libxml 20614
        libexslt 809 was compiled against libxml 20614
    
    DocBook XSL 1.66.1 stylesheets
    FOP 0.20.4/0.20.5 (identical results)

on Windows. 

It's probably possible to get to the root of the issue by commenting out 
different parts of "doc/src/boost.xml" until it's buildable, but in what 
little time we could devote to investigating this, we didn't have much 
success going this route. 

It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could take a look at this.
