The patch, test, and docs are checked in. You can read about the syntax at:

http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/targets.html#id2572031

and you might also want to check a new FAQ entry:

http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/faq.html#id2577795

Let me know if this works for you.
