   You should check the docs though (I believe it is the ones related to 
adding a custom target/generator - 'verbatim' files or something like 
that). As I recall there is a bug with this feature and you sometimes 
need to use a lower level 'DEPENDS' Boost Jam rule to make this work.

   Hope this helps.
