By succeed I mean that it returns no errors to stderr or stdout and
returns no error code of 1 or above.

What is that supposed to do ?

I will give it a try, but this business of trying to setup and use the
Boost documentation system, according to instructions, and failing to be
able to do so, is getting old. I think Boost should either consider
something better than this mess or get it working someday in this century.
I did get the xsltproc directly from the link in the The BoostBook
Documentation Format, and that link is at
http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/xsltproc-win32.zip. Is that
link's implementation of xsltproc broken perhaps ?
