Currently if I look at the docs in my SVN Trunk checkout, they try to 
redirect to (for example) 
http://www.boost.org/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/doc/html/array.html, 
but no such URL exists because MetaComm have stopped doing their nightly 
build.  I'm suggesting we change that URL to redirect to some stable 
location within the boost.org domain, which whoever is running the nightly 
build can upload to.

Sure, but that only gets run during the release process, or does it get run 
more often?  If so then yes we're covered.
