I'm not in a project Jamfile, I am in a tool Jamfile that has  a type  
generator and a corresponding action. You are right in that I am  
looking for something that will provide the same effect as manually  
adding an <include>/a/b/c to usage-requirements, but (1) the end user  
should not have to do this, the tool should automagically do it for  
him/her, and (2) the <include> path is dependent on the system's IDL  
installation which could change so I'd rather not have it hard-coded  
in project Jamfile files.

Brad
