Agreed, but I just wanted it to be available for install, not for all other 
rules.

What I meant to do was something like:

feature.feature build-type : commercial evaluation ;
(...)
install License : License_Commercial.txt : <location>doc <name>License.txt 
<build-type>commercial ;

install License : License_Evaluation.txt : <location>doc <name>License.txt 
<build-type>evaluation ;

This would select the appropriate file and install it with the same name. Of 
course, I could do it differently but I think it would be an useful feature.
