It'll be the path to the root directory of Boost (allows commen files and 
links to be found).   Note that if it's a relative path then it's from the 
root directory of the html docs to boost-root, and since those are usually 
in a sub-directory called "html" there may well be an extra ".." in the 
boost.root path.

Just the xsl files I'm afraid as far as I know :-(
