[Boost-build] Manifest files problems

Hi,

I'm using Boost.Build with Visual C++ 8.0 and have run into a snag 
regarding manifest files with executables. The manifest gets generated 
correctly, however, it doesn't get copied with executable targets by the 
install rule.

I've read some things about including the manifest as a resource which 
makes a LOT more sense to me than having to have a separate .manifest 
file for every application, but I'm not sure how to do that. Any hints?

If that won't work, then I need the install rule to detect the manifest 
as a dependency of the executable. However, I'd like this behaviour to 
apply out of the box (i.e. without having to alter my msvc.jam). Is 
there a way I can change my Jamfile to handle this?

Thanks,

Dylan Trotter
