also I would expand this slightly to

build(if required)
test
doc
   jamfile.v2 (if required
   html

I've always disliked having documentation in one place if they are built 
with boost book and in an other place if they are built some other way. 
  So either use the above or copy all the handcrafted html to the "other 
place"  I prefer the above because it keeps all the library under one 
directory.
