I'm trying to create an alias rule that will override/set certain pdf 
generation properties, for example:

alias type_traits : $(boost-root)/libs/type_traits/doc//standalone : 
$(COMMON_PDF_SETTINGS) ;

But $(COMMON_PDF_SETTINGS) don't get passed down to the pdf build.  Same 
result if I spell out the settings explicitly:

alias type_traits : $(boost-root)/libs/type_traits/doc//standalone : 
<xsl:param>body.start.indent=0pt ;

Any ideas on this?

Also, I would like if possible to be able to control the file name under 
which a pdf gets installed: I can use the "install" rule to copy the pdf to 
a location of my choice, but the resulting file name isn't always quite what 
I would like... is there any kind of rename-rule I can use?

Many thanks, John.
