It's 23:00 here so I might be talking rubbish, but I thin that:

 rule genrb ( sources + : requirements * )
 { 
      local result ;
      for local r in $(sources)
      {
          res $(r:B) : $(r) ;
          result += $(r:B) ;
      }
       return $(result) ;
 }

should work. The 'res' rule define main target named $(r:B), if you add
the name of a main target to the sources list of 'install' that main target
gets installed.
