Q: 

how do delete test generated temp files in with boost build(bjam)

I am new to boost build.

I have test suite that is built with boost bjam(jamfiles). The test generates a lot of temporary files. I want to specify a rule that when the test is built OR when bjam clean is called it also removes my generated test data, ready for a new run. This is trivial in make, but I cant find any references of how to do this in the boost build documentation.

Any help appreciated.
