 If quickbook is built from the source, for invocations of the
 form

 boostbook standalone : units.qbk :
    <dependency>/whatever/
 ;

 The quickbook executable will receive the feature <dependency>/whatever/.
 Because quickbook is built in a different project from the one that
 the dependency comes from, the build system cannot find the target.
 This results in an extremely cryptic error message like:

 error: Unable to find file or target named
 error:     'object(file-target)@340'
 error: referred from project at
 error:     '/C:/Documents and Settings/Steven/My
 Documents/boost/tools/quickbook'
