I do something equivalent but for regular targets, and copying around 
header files. You can use the "make" target to copy a file. Something like:

import common ;
make myfile.txt : some-path/myfile.txt : common.copy ;
explicit myfile.txt ;

And a lib target might refer to the file as:

lib my : foo.cpp : <dependcy>myfile.txt ;

HTH.
