[Boost-build] Compiling Objective-C sources under Mac OS X

Hi all,

Is it currently possible to compile Objective-C (.m) sources using 
boost-build?
 I'm trying to build an SDL application on Mac OS X using bjam and the 
darwin
toolset. 

darwin.jam seems to support frameworks fine - I've managed to get 
OpenGL and
OpenAL working without any issues.  However, SDL requires SDLMain.m to 
be
compiled and linked if you're using their framework [in order to hook 
up the
main() entry point correctly, I think.]

As it stands, I can't find any mention of Objective-C sources in 
darwin.jam or
the types folder.  Would someone be able to suggest how I can add .m 
support?

Many thanks,
Steve

PS: Here's what I have in my SDL jamfile so far.
Any style tips and/or corrections would be very welcome.
