[Boost-build] Ignoring --clean

Hi,

I have some projects that are built and maintained by one person but  
are for general use.  We'd like to prevent user's from deleting these  
libraries with --clean.  While we could change the permissions to  
disable deleting the files, this would lead to incorrect or ambiguous  
messages from the build system that we'd rather suppress.  I'd prefer  
a solution that allows us to specify whether the --clean should be  
honored on a per Jamfile basis.

For instance, if the user says bjam --v2 --clean at the top level of  
our system, we want the clean option honored for all libraries except  
those we explicitly disable.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks.
