I can't seem to find the Boost example source code anywhere. I also can't find the doco that comes with Boost. Is there a default location that ebuilds should drop examples and doco when dealing with libraries such as Boost? Boost does not seem to have a USE flag that says "Install examples somewhere" so I'm at a bit of a loss as to where this stuff is? Any thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew
