Comment:

 Latex and ghostscript aren't directly supported by boost build. They just
 get called by doxygen when the accumulators documentation is built. So at
 the moment, the check for those two should probably be in the accumulators
 jamfile. It would be nice if they were better integrated with boost build,
 but that isn't urgent.

 A bit off topic: tetex is an obsolete unix distribution, but seems to be
 the best thing available for cygwin. There are [http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-

 bin/texfaq2html?label=TeXsystems several distributions]. I'm currently
 using MikTeX on windows. But TeX Live looks quite promising, as it
 supports several platforms (including windows).
