Wouldn't that only create the necessary dependency when the docs are 
built "standalone"? This doesn't seem right to me. I think I said what I 
meant to: that the xml rule invocation depends on the doxygen one.

Could you also explain how simply making one rule invocation depend on 
another breaks the build? Why should that be? And what's up with that 
error message:

error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     'object(file-target)@427'
error: referred from project at
error:     '/home/ghost/Work/Boost/boost/tools/quickbook'

That's awful. How's anyone supposed to make any sense of that?
