   Hi all.

   Anyone know anything about the Boost Jam/Build bug referenced in 
http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/extending/features.html 
related to needed to manually add a Jam level dependency between targets 
connected using a dependency Boost Build property? (Quote to search for: 
'We are almost done, but we should stop for a small workaround. Add the 
following code to msvc.jam').

   We are currently attempting to set up a feature whose value should be 
an additional source file for the target its specified on (generated 
using a custom generator that knows how to make use of this feature). 
However, setting the dependency attribute to that feature does not seem 
to work. On the other hand, everything does work fine if we add 
workaround code similar to the one in the aforementioned documentation 
page for our generator but this just feels wrong... :-)

   So, anoyone have any insight about this (hmmm... maybe the person who 
wrote the documentation page :-)) or should I just dig in and research 
it myself?

   Many thanks.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetiæ
