[Boost-build] Can bjam deal with multiple dots in suffix?

Hi Guys,

I'm back.  Question:  Can bjam handle suffixes with multiple dots vis-a-vis
bindings with generators?  (E.g. '.stats.xml' and '.events.xml' follow
different XML schemas and require different tools for conversion to a
different format.)  If not, a workaround would be to use, say, .stats_xml and
.events_xml as suffixes, but that will upset the bjam naysayers here whose
existing make-based toolset handles the existing multi-dot suffixes just fine.

Has much happened with bjam the last 6-8 months?

Best regards,
Mark
