I can cause src-list.txt to be in an 'include'able form for

I need is a recursive invocation of jam, or maybe there's
something else I'm missing.
On a similar note (and from another newbie), has anyone worked
out any rules for RCS? I can imagine writing a rule whereby
RcsFiles a b c d ;
Defines the dependencies (eg a depends-on RCS/a,v etc.)
but
a) Is there any way of doing it implicitly for all files,
like make does when you say
%:: RCS/%,v
$(CO) $< $@
b) How could you do it for Jamfiles, such that it would
check out a more recent version from RCS and use that
instead if it existed. I guess make has some built-in
magic to handle this. [this is where the similarity
with the initial question lies]
Thanks,
