Are all of these things already available in boost somewhere? Is it
possible for me to set all of this up, too? I also use docutils and
emacs, and I would like to generate PDF documentation. I tried writing
my own bjam files to convert from rst to latex to pdf, but I'm not
particularly good at this. I just found docutils.jam, but I'm not sure
whether I have to do anything special to make sure that the docutils
scripts are found.
