2648	Re-registering an existing suffix for a type fails erroneously, patch attached	anonymous	Vladimir Prus	"I've attached a patch against the development trunk that indicates what I believe is a problem in {{{ tools/build/v2/build/type.jam }}}.

The comments and the code suggest that re-registering a suffix to a type should be okay.  I've included a snippet from the current trunk below.

{{{
# Specifies that files with suffix from 'suffixes' be recognized as targets of
# type 'type'. Issues an error if a different type is already specified for any
# of the suffixes.
#
rule register-suffixes ( suffixes + : type )
{
    for local s in $(suffixes)
    {
        if ! $(.type.$(s))
        {
            .type.$(s) = $(type) ;
        }
        else if $(.type.$(s)) != type
        {
            errors.error Attempting to specify multiple types for suffix
                \""$(s)\"" : ""Old type $(.type.$(s)), New type $(type)"" ;
        }
    }
}
}}}
