Just wanted to add that the install rule also tries to copy 
prebuilt.lib onto itself, even though "<install-dependencies>off" is 
specified.

Actually, I'm not even sure that <install-dependencies>off is a 
valid option - I just reversed the example in the BBv2 manual where 
<install-dependencies>on was stated.
