I think this is an excellent suggestion. What about having a single 
christened platform be responsible for the generation of a 'Golden' 
source tarball which everything else is then built from. This source 
tarball could contain generated docs, so as far as that process is 
concerned, you don't have to be as portable as if this was to be run on 
every platform where boost is tested on.
