Hi Roland,

I came across soemthing similar, you can read on how to do this here:

http://www.code-shop.com/2007/8/21/bjam-custom-generator

It starts with how to use lex/yacc, but then goes on on how the then 
built generator can be used in bjam by defining your own rules

Hope it helps

Regards, Dirk
