[Boost-build] How to build F77 sources?

From: Thomas Klimpel (thomas.klimpel_at_[hidden])

The following statement

exe fortran_functions : fortran_functions.f ;

produces the error

error: target { fortran_functions.f. } has no type.
/boost-trunk/tools/build/v2/build/generators.jam:1185: in generators.construct from module generator
p/boost-trunk/tools/build/v2/build/targets.jam:1368: in construct from module object(typed-target)@330
...

What I really want to build is 

exe compatible_calling_conventions : compatible_calling_convention.cpp fortran_functions.f ;

in order to test the prototypes for the fortran calling conventions.

However, I get the feeling that compiling F77 sources is not supported by boost.build. Is this feeling correct?

Regards,
Thomas
