That works perfectly -- thanks!  Now I'm running into another problem.  :-}

I also have this:

    lib pcre
        : get.c maketables.c pcre.c study.c
        : <implicit-dependency>chartables.c
        :
        : <include>.
    ;

It doesn't add the directory for chartables.c to the list of includes. 
Is implicit-dependency broken?

As an aside, I noticed that it puts the path of the source file (in this
case "..\..\misc\pcre\pcre.c") relative to the directory of build.jam in
the rsp file, even though it's in the same directory.  Just curious.

Thanks again,

Phillip
