+This example shows the 'generate' rule, that allows you to construct target
+using any arbitrary set of transformation and commands.
+
+The rule is similar to 'make' and 'notfile', but unlike those, you can operate
+in terms of B2 'virtual targets', which is more flexible.
+
+Please consult the docs for more explanations.
