[Boost-build] Copying DLL's to executable location

From: Phillip Seaver (phil_at_[hidden])

I have a third-party DLL that I load using LoadLibrary (no export .lib 
file), and I'd like to have it copied to the same location as 
executables or other DLL's that I build with boost.build and depend on 
it.  Is there an easy way to do this?

I'm pretty sure I can do it with an "install" rule (probably the same 
one that installs the executable), but I'd like to have it copied to 
wherever the executable gets linked or copied, so I don't have to do it 
manually.

I currently have something like this in the jamfile for the DLL:

    lib foo
        :
        : <file>foo.dll
    ;

And this in the executable jamfile:

    exe bar : bar.cpp foo ;

Thanks,

Phillip
