Thanks, yes, I'm able to use quickbook as part of a boost.build setup.
But I'm also wanting to use it stand-alone (or rather, without a
Jamfile), and was wondering about the CLI (e.g., parameters such as
--output-deps and --no-self-linked-headers), which doesn't appear to be
documented anywhere.

Thanks,
