Is in necessary that the filenames in the distribution be so long?

tar:
boost_1_35_0/doc/html/boost/xpressive/op/insert/result_This(Cont,It,Value),typename
disable_if_ mpl__or__ is_integral_ UNCVREF(It)_,is_same_
UNCVREF(It),UNCVREF(Value)_ _ ___type__id1001524.html: Cannot open: File
name too long

included in the archive; the file name is unusual at best.

Thanks,
