Generating slightly better filenames

I'm trying to improve the filenames created by boostbook. In the
xpressive documentation there's a file (http://tinyurl.com/436vx4)
with the impressive filename:

result_This(Cont,It,Value),typename disable_if_ mpl__or__ is_integral_
UNCVREF(It)_,is_same_ UNCVREF(It),UNCVREF(Value)_ _
___type__id1001524.html

The attached patch generates the slightly improved:

result_This(Cont,It,Value),typename_disable_if_mpl_or_is_integral_UNCVREF(It)_,is_same_UNCVREF(It),UNCVREF(Value)_type_id2392301.html

Spaces are converted to underscores, and consecutive underscores are
replaced with single underscores. It's a bit of a hack but it seems to
work okay.

I'll try to make further improvements at some point - such as not
including the 'typename' and truncating long type names like this but
that will require a better understanding of the xsl so I probably
won't get round to it for a while.

If there's a 1.35.1, I'll probably try to include something like this.

I've merged this into trunk now.

It turns out that supporting variadic template parameters in template
specializations needs some improvements here, so I've made a few
changes in the doc branch:

1. There are actually two different templates for generating ids for
functions, so I combined them. The new version uses the function name
if it's unique, otherwise it generates the id and adds the unique
numeric id on the end.

http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/45130

2. I changed the id generating templates, so that instead of calling
'fully-qualified-name' they call a new template 'fully-qualified-id'.
This will make it easier to make changes to the generated ids. For a
start it replaces dots that aren't seperators with underscores - this
is needed for template packs. The exisiting code converts the three
