Hi all,
	I'm playing around with the Boost library, www.boost.org, at the moment 
and the question is in relation to it but the question also applies to 
other libraries I've played around with, where are the examples and doco 
kept?

	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

I don't know about the examples, but the doc useflag installs 
documentation in /usr/share/doc/boost-<ver>

Usually USE=docs install the docs. Also, some packages have USE=examples.

The customary location is /usr/share/docs/$PACKAGE-$VERSION

The examples are also placed there, usually in compressed form.
