[Boost-build] Distribution rule for source?

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to use bjam to distribute our source code.  I  
figure since bjam knows how to build our binaries, it can't be too  
hard to get it to tar up the source files a target depends on or to  
replicate the source files to some new directory.  I can't use the  
install or path.install rules since the source tree for each library  
is different and I want to retain each library's source tree  
directory structure.

Is there a way to output the full, unique set of source and header  
files necessary to build a target?  If there was, I could take the  
list of files and pipe it to tar.

Any thoughts on how to go about this?
