The Boost.Build dokumentation on the builtin rules is quite good.
Does
http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/rules.html
help? There is an entry for "glob" which explicitly mentions the exclude 
feature you want

    : [ glob *.cpp : main.cpp ]  # exclude main.cpp

Yours,

Jürgen
