Interesting... Not sure what effect that would have other than an error 
message from BBv2. Try looking at the way the existing docs build copies 
the CSS and images 
<https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/trunk/doc/Jamfile.v2#L82>. But 
to put it briefly:

install /target name/ : /source files/ : <location>/target directory/ ;
