>Description:

The boost port installs its examples into
${PREFIX}/share/examples/boost/lib (according to current port collection
standards).

The problem is, that boost's HTML-documentation in
${PREFIX}/share/doc/boost contains relative links to those example
files, which are broken now.

>How-To-Repeat:

Have a look at e.g. (assuming ${LOCALBASE} == /usr/local)
file:///usr/local/share/doc/boost/libs/graph/doc/connected_components.html,
and click on the link in the example section at the buttom of the page.

>Fix:

I see two possible solutions for this problem:

1. Install the examples into the share/doc directory, and put a README
file into the standard examples directory (or maybe symlinks).

2. Leave the examples in the standard examples directory and fix the
broken HTML-links with appropriate symbolic links.
