>From www.boost.org/tools/build/build_system.htm#jam_fundamentals:

        When a rule is invoked, if there are <b><tt>actions</tt></b>
declared
        with the same name as the rule, the <tt>actions</tt> are added to
the
        updating actions for the target identified by the rule's first
        argument. It is actually possible to invoke an undeclared rule if
        corresponding actions are declared: the rule is treated as empty.
