No, and don't know :-(

I added a diagram to the wiki yesterday that shows the workflow:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted, xsltproc is

have to download all the libraries it depends on separately :-(

Of course most Linux boxes have all this stuff by default...

HTH, John.
