Actually, it's not currently possible. There is a disclaimer some place 
in the bjam docs that mentions that the header inclusion dependencies 
are calculated *after* the build dependencies. I.e. they are done at 
make time, which is too late to add build targets.

Hm, the closest explanation I found explains the overall bjam operation
