Matt,

the apparent reason is that it was never intended that toolset modules,
initialized via 'using', declare targets that are built from sources.
Typically, those live in tools/ subdir of Boost.Build, where no sources
are present.

OTOH, I did not find a convincing reason why your use case should not
work, so I've checked in this patch:

        https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/56008

Your testcase builds for me; can you verify things work on your end?

Thanks,
Volodya
