Beman, there are many errors in there, almost all of which I suspect are 
related to the use of cygwin:

>>xslt-xsltproc ../bin.v2/libs/asio/doc/gcc-3.4.4/debug/asio_doc.docbook
>>/bin/sh: line 2: export: `XML_CATALOG_FILES': not a valid identifier

Probably this relates to \r\n conventions and /bin/sh not being able to 
parse the content that BBv2 produces.

Looks like your

using docbook

statement has incorrect paths (or paths that cygwin xsltproc can't handle).

Looks like you don't have the cygwin version of ghostscript installed 
(ghostscript as well as LaTex are required by accumulators docs).

Beman, I'll look into starting a test case, but I honestly think you're 
wasting your time using cygwin.  I'd much rather see you using all win32 
builds of bjam/xsltproc/doxygen etc.
