It's normally just built as part of the combined documentation, which
wasn't so horrendously slow when the array documentation was
originally written. You can add a Jamfile if you want to build
standalone documentation. Something like:

using boostbook ;
boostbook standalone : array.xml : <xsl:param>boost.root=../../../.. ;
