I'm not really competent with Boost.Build.  I wrote that Jamfile stuff 
mostly through a combination of copying other Jamfiles, trial and error, 
and fumbling around in the dark.  It did finally work at least with html 
though.   If anyone more familiar with bjam cares to take a look, the 
intention was to run snippet_extractor, with the first argument being the 
output directory for the generated boostbook xml files.

The trac ticket https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4872 says the 
destination dir when running under linux of 
bin.v2/libs/signals2/doc/gcc-4.4.3/debug is wrong, but thats the directory 
it uses when I build the html, and it works in that case.  What is the 
proper destination directory for generated documentation xml files?
