This was never fixed in the 1.75 release. Also the documentation page ( 
index.html ) says at the top "Release 1.74.0" and not "Release 1.75.0", 
which was one of the other issues I originally reported.

I do not mean this as a criticism, since I know how hard the release 
managers have worked to get this release out. But can we perhaps get the 
Boost Build link to actually point to the Boost.Build documentation when 
we release Boost, since this "bug" when creating the release 
documentation has existed more or less forever ?
