Thanks for the keyword BoostBook! I had to use a search engine now to find  
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boostbook.html. How am I  
supposed to find the BoostBook documentation starting at the homepage

development and documentation but without a search engine I would have  
never found it?
