Yes, this is the case, you give explicitly the files, butyou can also use, exclude files from

  for local file in [ path.glob-tree ../../../../boost/lib : *.hpp : *_impl*.hpp ] {

    headers += $(file) ;
    result += [ compile test.cpp : <define>BOOST_LIB_HEADER_NAME=$(file) <dependency>$(file) : [ regex.replace [ path.relative-to ../../.. $(file) ] "/" "_" ] ] ;

  }
