[Boost-build] how do I create a new bjam target?

Dear Boost.build experts, 

I have a problem with bjam, that has been troubling me for a week. I would 
like to add a new compiler support to bjam. This compiler returns the same 
object file as gcc  (compatible). Now, I have declared a rule called 

rule my-rule ( name : source ) ...
...

and somewhere in it there is a 

NOTFILE $(name:G=e) ;
do-nothing $(name:G=e) : $(so) ;

when I call the rule in the jamfile 

my-rule npink : src/some_src.cpp

nothing happens. If I launch 

bjam npink

bjam sais:

notice: could not find main target npink
notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.

and then COMPILES the target. However I CAN'T make anything depend on this 
target. 

exe some_executable : npink ;

or 

DEPENDS npink : some_executable ;
or no-rule and their any variation is completely ignored by bjam. 

Can you please help me out with this?

Thank you in advance

ML
