I saw your dblatex sample -- it looks nice...I'm hoping this path succeeds b/c 
I agree FO isn't a good solution. While we're making a list of Jamfile issues, 
here's one other problem, I think, with the current Jamfiles -- no easy way to 
run only a single library.  The reality is that a full Boost.pdf would be so 
big as to be unusable (date-time with full reference is ~500 pages).  With 
date-time we've been working around this Jamfile limit with something of our 
own invention that allows us to generate just the date-time docs -- I can't 
recall the details since I've been hand's off of this and it's been so long 
since we had a release :-(
