Not with the current contents of libraries.json, as the root
index.html file is typically considered the location of the
documentation, since it's typically more permanent, predictable and
memorable than the actual location. For most libraries, you can go to
something like 'http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr' and end up in the
right place, even if the documentation files are moved to a new
location within the module.
