[Boost-build] syntax inside rule action

Hello,

I have an updating action that looks like this:

action a
{
    cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 && cmd4 && cmd5 && cmd6
}

Since the individual cmds are lenghty I would like to put each of them
on a separate line in the action body but still want to run them as a
single shell command, something like this:

action a
{
    cmd1 && \
    cmd2 && \
    cmd3 && \
    cmd4 && \
    cmd5 && \
    cmd6
}

However, this does not work and I can't figure out what the correct
syntax is. Any ideas?

Thanks,
