[Boost-docs] installing files

I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to copy the .css and some image files into a
doc/html  so that the html and subdirectories are complete and 'zippable'.   But
there is obviously something (many perhaps things) that I don't understand about
B*****y jam syntax/rules.  

I want to copy the Boost 'official' versions using BOOST_ROOT (or better a local
version).

path-constant local-boost-root : $BOOST_ROOT ; # So can access your chosen boost
version (trunk, old ...).

Ideally I'd like to create path constants for the sources too, for example:

   path-constant images_location  :    $(BOOST_ROOT)/doc/html ;

1st copy the stylesheet boostbook.css into an html subfolder

install css
  :
    <location>$(BOOST_ROOT)/doc/html/boostbook.css
  :
    <location>html
  ;

But this doesn't do the copy?

and then also copy the logo also in the same /doc/html sub-directory

install ../ : $(BOOST_ROOT)/boost.png ;

and also install the admonitions

 install html : $(BOOST_ROOT)/doc/html/images/*.png ;

Yours confused!

Thanks.

Paul

PS what does install ../ : ../../../boost.png ;
