[Boost-build] xsltproc and building PDF's

From: John Maddock (john_at_[hidden])

For some reason whenever I instruct bjam to build docs into a PDF, xsltproc 
fails if the .fo file already exists.  And yet.... for some strange reason I 
don't see the same problem with other xsltproc targets.

Does anyone have any idea on what's going on here and how we can fix it? 
Maybe change the xsltproc rule so it deletes the target XML file before 
invoking xsltproc?

The actual error messages are:
