Thanks. I personally think that's a really useful feature and I like
it a great deal. However, I'm trying to persuade the developers of an
open source project that they should ship some Jamfiles together with
their autoconf / automake stuff. They would like bjam to create the
same set of files with the same naming convention - i.e., dll's should
have the 'cyg' prefix and implementation libraries should be generated
for each dll (apparently lib*.dll.a is what is used by libtool by
default).

Is there a way to write extra rules / targets to generate the
necessary output?

Cheers,
