Shame faced, having seen your reply and Larry's, I feel somewhat
foolish, lol

As I explained to Larry, we use a really bad set of manually crafted
Jam files to build where we are always having problems with the
dependencies, so I should have thought of the answer straight away.

I knew it was going to be something silly but developing and
firefighting at the same time, taxes youor grey matter.

Thanks again for a simple answer to a simple problem that I really
should have knwon better :)
