If you have a library that includes just single gl file, then what you've shown
earlier:

        lib antlr_lib : lexer.gl : <antlr-name>SimpleLexer ;

seems fine to me. If you have several files, then...

either the above, but with 'cpp' as the target kind:

        cpp lexer : lexer.gl : : <antlr-name>SimpleLexer ;
        cpp lexer2 : lexer2.gl : : <antlr-name>SimpleLexer2 ;

should work.
