Sorry I'm not sure what you're asking - do you want/need to have your 
docs in that "one big build"?   If so then you need to integrate your 
docs into the xml under boost-root/doc/src/boost.xml, check it works 
(this can take a long time!) then submit a PR for the change.

But like I said, adding more stuff to that "one big build" doesn't 
scale, and doesn't work well as we move to a more modular structure.

One simple alternative is to place the generated docs under version 
control in Git and then they'll show up on the website when a release is 
made (not before, and there's no preview on Github, unlike what we had 
with svn).

I think there are some scripts somewhere that will build quickbook docs 
on demand for a release without needing to commit docs to Git, but I'm 
afraid I don't know anything about that.

Hopefully someone will chime in with more info, John.
