I've added a "spirit-nav" bar at the top and bottom, just like in some other
Boost documentation (and reuploaded).  I think that's what you were looking
for.  It has home and up links that go back to the index page, and next and
previous links that enable sequential scrolling through the docs.

I don't see how it hurts, so I implemented your suggestion; the constants
are now defined as enum { val = # }, instead of having a type.  Thanks for
your feedback.

The library is ready for formal review.
