I'm afraid simply replacing dots by something else won't be enough, since
it would still leave us with too-long filenames problem (consider this one,
for instance: "bbv2.reference.buildprocess.alternatives.html"). I really
think these dot-separated parts should become subdirectories, e.g.
bbv2/reference/buildprocess/alternatives.html
We'd still need to watch for their depth, of course.
The price for that would be to have to tell everybody who wants to use
BoostBook on Windows themselves to grab a patched version of "xsltproc"
which is able to generate the subdirs in this manner (it works as-is on
other platforms). If nobody objects, I'll handle the XSLT rewrite.
