[Boost-build] Platform-specific sources

Hello,

In jamroot, I have:

constant TARGET-PLATFORM : [ modules.peek : OS ] ;

And then I have this:

rule
simple-lib ( lib-name : requirements * : usage-requirements * )
 {
 lib $(lib-name)
  : # sources:
   [ glob $(TOP)/src/$(lib-name)/impl/*.cpp ]
   [ glob $(TOP)/sys/$(TARGET-PLATFORM)/$(lib-name)/*.cpp ]
  : # requirements:
   $(requirements)
  : # default build:
  : # usage requirements:
   $(usage-requirements)
  ;
 }

My intention was to have boost-build automatically pick up files from 
sys/NT/whatever on NT, and from other folders on other systems. My problem 
is that under Cygwin/gcc, boost.build still goes to sys/NT/whatever, instead 
to sys/cygwin/whatever.

Or did I completely misunderstand something? Please help!

Thanks,
Emil
