Hm, it might still be possible. It would be possible to collect all the 
header scans in a target variable and have that target do the copy of 
all the files in that var. It would require writing your own target, and 
action to do the copy.

It would be tricky to get that working correctly. Although I did 
somewhat more nasty things with the first implementation of the --help 
code which shanghaied the header scanning to parse the jam files for 
help comments :-)
