[Boost-build] Instrument Source Code

Hello

I have some C++ source and header files which i would like to 
'instrument' before they are compiled. The processing is done by a 
script and the resulting files are put in an other directory:

   sources = [ glob org/*.cpp org/*.hpp ] ;

   addDumpInfo instrumented_sources : $(sources) ;

   exe Appl : instrumented_sources ;

I couldn't figure out how to do this with BJam V2. Can I somehow write a 
generator where source type and the target type are the same?

I tried to copy and modify the install rule but had the problem, that 
when an original header file was newer than one of the original source 
files with used that header, bjam always 'instrumented' that file.

Thanks,

- Franz
