I'm trying to write documetation for NTPs using Boostbook but I'm
having trouble. The Boostbook docs say that changing to boost/doc
and running bjam --v2 should build the documentation, but;

>>-waller-> pwd
/home/greened/src/boost/doc
>>-waller-> bjam --v2
/home/greened/src/boost/tools/build/v2/tools/package.jam:72: in
package.install
rule stage.install unknown in module package.

/home/greened/src/boost/tools/build/v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:120: in
boost-build
/home/greened/src/boost/boost-build.jam:12: in module scope

I know almost nothing about Jam so these errors don't mean much
to me.

For NTPs, the source uses Doxygen comments so I plan to follow
the guidelines for Doxygen use with Boostbook. I've found a
number of Jamfile.v2s for different libraries that seem to
use Doxygen, but I'm not entirely clear how the other bits
of documentation (introduction, rationale, etc.) get integrated.
The Boostbook documentation is rather sparse about Doxygen use.
Can anyone guide me with this?
