Using the latest xsl files should be okay (I'm using 1.73.2, the
current one in the Ubuntu beta), but the bookbook dtd imports the 4.2
docbook dtd so I think you have to use docbook-xml-4.2.

You (Rene) might need to delete bin.v2/boostbook.jam. It doesn't
always get updated when the configuration is changed.

It doesn't look like you're using cygwin, which is a pity as cygwin's
easier to setup. There are a few dodgy version of xsltproc for
windows. If you have further problems you might want to look at the
rough instructions at:

http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted#Windows

I successfully used the setup I described (apart from a couple of
problems which won't affect the jam documentation). Feel free to make
changes.
