[Boost-build] lib rule dependancy on make rule, possible?

Hi all,
I have come across this behavior which I don't understand, I am trying to tie a 
make rule to a lib rule like below.  I was hoping that the make rule would be 
evaluated as a dependent on the lib rule.  In order for the dependency to be 
specified I was required to register .dfm files as a recognized type.

Problem: I was expecting the following behavior:
1. If I was dependent on MyLib from another Jamfile(see Jamfile-main) and 
$(TOP)/dfm/c.dfm did not exist it would invoke the make rule

anyone?

thanks
mal

Jamfile-lib
------------------------------------------
lib MyLib : c.cpp $(TOP)/dfm/c.dfm : : ;

make $(TOP)/dfm/c.dfm : c.dfm : do-copy ;

Jamfile-main
------------------------------------------
exe m : b.cpp $(TOP)/lib2//MyLib : : <include>$(TOP)/lib2 : ;
