The easiest way is to use print in a make target.  A relatively
simple example is here
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/units/test_headers/Jamfile.v2
it's generating a cpp file instead of an hpp file, but the principle is
the same.

Depending on how complex what you're doing is, it might be
easier to use macros.
