"How to build the documentation" is in the documentation. That strikes
me as strange. I suggest you also put 'how to build the documentation"
into something that does not need to be built, like a readme.md file.

If you are not going to supply the documentation as part of the library,
I believe you will need to use Boost Build to build the documentation if
Fit is accepted into Boost. Providing additional means of building the
docs is up to you.
