Hi,

I was looking at http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/smart_ptr.htm and I was 
surprised to find that there was no link to the main boost page. There are many 
other doc pages that dont have a link either to their own index pages or the 
boost index page. (Though many others do e.g 
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time.html .) Anyone arriving at  pages with 
no link to their parents has no direct way to find  e.g what is boost or how/ 
where to download the boost libraries. That aside it is annoying when browsing 
that one has no means to get back up the tree.  URLs such as smart pointer above 
are frequently posted on eg comp.lang.++, but the lack of any simple means to 
get up the tree must leave many potential users stranded and frustrated. 
Shouldnt it  possible at least to get from any page in a libraries documentation 
to its main index page (e.g http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm) 
and ideally  http://www.boost.org/ too?  (FWIW You could at least make the boost 
logo a link to http://www.boost.org/)

Just a thought.
