[Boost-build] [Fwd: Re: how to get preprocessor output with boost build.v2 (was Re: boost::proto documentation for transforms]

From: Larry Evans (cppljevans_at_[hidden])

Based on the attachment, from the boost.devel list,
apparently producing preprocessor output is a useful
debugging tool for the boost preprocessor library.
Would someone publish a boost.build.v2 method
for producing preprocessor output?

TIA.

I don't know. I use (on windows) "cl /I %BOOST_ROOT% /P fold.hpp". That 
creates fold.i with the preprocessed output. Maybe a BBv2 expert knows? 
Maybe there is a <preprocess>yes feature, or someone could add one.
