[Boost-build] Generated cpp and header file question

Hello folks,

I really like how things are progressing.  The documentation is really
taking shape.

I am looking for advice on handling my generated header and cpp test files.

The following is my testing root level Jamfile:

make mock_header.h : real_header.h : make-mock-header ;
actions make-mock-header
{
    ruby generate_mock_header $(2) > $(1)
}

project  :  :  requirements
          <include>mock_header.h   # Is this how i should generate my
header?
          # <include> output path?  What variable do i use for the
output path?
;

build-project test_dir1 ;
build-project test_dir2 ;
# End of Jamfile

Here is a example of one subdirectory test Jamfile:

make runner.cpp : [ glob *test.h ] : make-test-runner ;
actions make-test-runner
{
    perl cxxtestgen.pl -o $(1) $(2)
}

exe runner : 
    runner.cpp
   
    # list of tested files
;
# End of Jamfile

The files in *test.h #include "mock_header.h"

How do I either
    1) pass the output path to the project?
    2) or change where the header file is output?

Secondly, how do I remove the duplication of make runner.cpp : ... from
each of my sub directories?

Finally, do you have any other advice on simplify the sub directory Jamfile?
Maybe something like the following:

include <something_testing>
LIST_FILES_TO_BE_TESTES = ...

Thanks,

Zhon
