My last suggestion fails to work on directories with dot and files 
without dot.

Improved version:

import path ;

rule get-files ( dir )
{
        local result ;
        local filesAndDirs = [ path.glob-tree $(dir) : * ] ;
        for i in $(filesAndDirs)
        {
                if [ CHECK_IF_FILE $(i) ]
                {
                        result += $(i) ;
                }
        }
        return $(result) ;
}

install dataToInstall
:
        [ get-files /path/aaa ]
:
        <location>/destination/path
        <install-source-root>/path/aaa
;
