Yes we do. As has been pointed out to me before, in order to support
cross-platform compiling effectively we need to make every part of a target
variable and dependent on the platform we are targeting. Making it possible
to specify the same target multiple times with different
sources/requirements/build-requests would make it easier. For example doing
this would be good:

exe pp : pp.cpp pp-win32.cpp : <sysinclude>/include-win32 ;
exe pp : pp.cpp pp-linux.cpp : <sysinclude>/include-linux ;
exe pp : pp.cpp pp-ps2.cpp : <sysinclude>/include-ps2 ;
