[Boost-build] Using PC-Lint

Hey guys,

I've been trying to setup a system for running pc-lint on my source files,  
but I'm having a hard time figuring out the right way to setup a rule to  
do so.

Basically, I want a rule that depends on the input *.lnt file along with  
all the source files, so that if any of those changes, it runs it again.   
My main 'exe' rule will also have the 'lint' rule as a dependency so that  
if pc-lint fails it won't even bother compiling the application.  Can  
someone just point me in the right direction to get this working?  I  
thought using the 'notfile' rule as a basis would make sense since it  
doesn't actually output any files, but is that not the right approach?

Thanks so much!
