Boostbook doesn't honor <implicit-dependency> [was: Quickbook build directory]

Hi!

AFAICT boostbook is not honoring <implicit-dependency>. The feature is 
ignored on all boostbook targets.

The attached patch fixes this for the xsltproc toolset, which is used 
everywhere by the boostbook toolset. As I can't be sure this is the best 
way to go about solving the issue, I'm posting the code here for review 
and possible approval.

Comments welcome.

With the attached patch one can do (tested!):

<Jamfile>

# ...

targets.create-typed-target BOOSTBOOK : [ project.current ]
: sample_library_docs
: sample_library.qbk
;

boostbook sample_main_doc
: sample.xml
: <implicit-dependency>sample_library_docs
;

</Jamfile>

<sample.xml>

< ... >
<xi:include href="sample_library_docs.boostbook"/>
< ... >

</sample.xml>

HTH,

João
