# Supports 'abstract' targets, which are targets explicitly defined in a
# Jamfile.
#
# Abstract targets are represented by classes derived from 'abstract-target'
# class. The first abstract target is 'project-target', which is created for
# each Jamfile, and can be obtained by the 'target' rule in the Jamfile's module
# (see project.jam).
#
# Project targets keep a list of 'main-target' instances. A main target is what
# the user explicitly defines in a Jamfile. It is possible to have several
# definitions for a main target, for example to have different lists of sources
# for different platforms. So, main targets keep a list of alternatives.
#
# Each alternative is an instance of 'abstract-target'. When a main target
# subvariant is defined by some rule, that rule will decide what class to use,
# create an instance of that class and add it to the list of alternatives for
# the main target.
#
# Rules supplied by the build system will use only targets derived from the
# 'basic-target' class, which will provide some default behaviour. There will be
# different classes derived from it such as 'make-target', created by the 'make'
# rule, and 'typed-target', created by rules such as 'exe' and 'lib'.
