Documentation for BOOST_VERSION is inconsistent / mistakable

Description

The documentation for the macro BOOST_VERSION is inconsistent / mistakable here

<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/config/doc/html/boost_config/boost_macro_reference.html>

It says: "Describes the boost version number in XXYYZZ format" although the following detail description suggests XYYYZZ, i. e. three digits for the minor revision.

And what about major revisions >9? Will the number become longer then?

Given that the major version is still 1 after more than a decade, I don't think we have to worry about it getting too big.
