I've never used the QT stuff, but it sounds like you just need:

    qtlibs/B Jamfile.v2:
    lib B
        : [ glob *.ui ] [ glob *.cpp ] [ glob *.h ] /qtlibs/A
    ;

You might have to add <implicit-dependency>file where "file" is the
generated header from A, but I *think* it should work without that,
since I assume the header is one of the outputs of lib A.
