Someone suggested:
"one boost library should be selected as the golden or canonical

documentation is desirable as that example.

There are other ways of providing that, as people have suggested in
this thread. e.g. A separate branch (such as gh-pages) that doesn't
pollute the master/develop branches commit history with generation
outputs.
