OK.

No, I mean a header file which is produced by Boost.Build. For C++, the 
example is parser generator such as bison -- it creates a header file which 
might be included by sources. And since the header file is generated in 
bin/...../ we need to add that path to include path.

If fortran has includes, then the approach you've used if the right one.

Please commit them. This is pure extension and won't break anything; we can 
sort out the details right in CVS.
