I use the ultimate weapon, the "alias" for this.

alias platform-sources
    : # sources
        win/a.cpp
    : # requirements
         <target-os>windows
   ;

alias platform-sources
    : # sources
        mac/a.cpp
    : # requirements
         <toolset>darwin
   ;

and then

lib a : some.cpp platform-sources ;

Untested example. Hope this helps,

Then you need more magic.

Yours,

Jürgen
