Why do we want to follow `TableGen`?

Two reasons why I think a more informative name should be used. 1) `StdGen` sounds like a name for library and doesn't follow the naming convention for tool directory (e.g. `global-symbol-builder`) and 2) it's hard for readers without much context to understand what `StdGen` actually means.

+  if not os.path.exists(cpp_reference_root):
+    exit("Path %s doesn't exist!" % cpp_reference_root)

It seems to me that using `exists(index_page_path)` would be less likely to trigger an exception (better use experience). I don't see a good reason to check the root.

If we can't get this from the doc, we should ask users to explicitly provide this information. I think we would want some version info to relate the output to the source.
