[Boost-build] [bbv2] how to preprocess all source files in a single step

Hello,

I am trying to migrate a make-based build system to bbv2 and reached a point 
from where I don't quite know how to proceed:

Assume, I have some source files a.src and b.src. Invoking a converter with all 
of the source files as input (i.e. "my_converter --flags -doutput_directory 
a.src b.src") generates header and C-files a.h, a.c, b.h and b.c in 
output_directory. From these an exe is built.

Is it possible to define a generator to be able to say in my Jamfile:

lib mylib : src.cpp ;
exe myprog : a.src b.src mylib ;

Best regards
Chris
