[Boost-build] conditional in package.install

(Sorry in my previous email, a return was missing.)

Hello, I want to use a <conditional> rule with package.install in order
to compute a prefix location. I'm getting an error but don't know what
is wrong, some rule is validating the feature I'm building.

The error is when doing 

bjam install

The Jamroot (also attached) is:

import package ;

exe example : source.c ;

rule get-default-prefix ( props * )
{
  ECHO $(props) ;
  return <install-default-prefix>/tmp/kk ;
}

package.install install
  : <conditional>@get-default-prefix
  : example
  : # no libs
  : # no headers
  ;

any idea?

regards,

Jorge
