[bbv2] How do I get full path to a target?

Hi all!

I simplified the quickbook toolset so that it uses only helper functions 
provided by BBv2.

Namely, I removed the quickbook-invocation-command, which was used to 
find the full path to the quickbook executable so that I could tag it as 
a virtual-target (common.get-invocation-command only returns the command 
name).

The problem I have now is that I must get the full path to the generated 
executable, in order to invoke it. Right now, the following is working 
for me:

quickbook-binary = [ path.join
[ $(target).path ]
[ $(target).name ]
]
;

As I didn't find any documentation about getting the full path to a 
target documented I'm wondering if this is the best way to do it or if 
this qualifies as a shameless hack...

As I said, this has been working for me, but I'd like to hear your 
opinions before commiting the reworked toolset to CVS and forgetting 
about it.

Best regards,

João
