Well, both files have links that point to them and inspect is reporting 
them unlinked, which seems wrong to me. I believe that 
boostinspect:nolink's purpose is to suppress warnings about invalid 
links in a file, it doesn't mean that the valid links in that file are 
any less valid.

Although, looking at the two files that contain boostinspect:nolink, it 
seems to have been added to suppress warnings about links to files in 
doc/html - so it could possibly be removed.
