quickbook executable receives <dependency>

Description
If quickbook is built from the source, for invocations of the form
boostbook standalone : units.qbk :
<dependency>/whatever/
;
The quickbook executable will receive the feature <dependency>/whatever/. Because quickbook is built in a different project from the one that the dependency comes from, the build system cannot find the target. This results in an extremely cryptic error message like:
error: Unable to find file or target named error: 'object(file-target)@340' error: referred from project at error: '/C:/Documents and Settings/Steven/My Documents/boost/tools/quickbook'

As directed in the previous comment, closed so ticket #1584 should be used.
This is the same as http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1584 I can't seem to log in, or I would close this one.
