controlling library names

I am using Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11) Boost.Jam 03.1.15.

I am now at the stage when I want to alter the library names
that a lib 
rule builds so I can move both release and debug into a
common directory 
via a stage rule.

What I want to know is the simplest way to append a
"-d" to the base 
name of the debug library.

I don't know if it's the simplest way to do it, but here's
how I do it:

After simplified the rule that you pointed me to, I get a
syntax error 
on this line:
local extension = [ type.generated-target-suffix $(type) :
$(property-set)

I did an "import type ;" line in addition in my
Jamfile, but it didn't help.

Any help appreciated.

In looking at an old related email that Vladimir wrote, I
found this 
rule that looks like it is exactly what I want:

rule my-tag ( name : type ? : property-set )
{
    if $(type) = LIB && [ $(property-set).get
<variant> ] = debug
    {
        return [ virtual-target.apply-suffix $(name)_d :
$(type): 
$(property-set) ] ;
    }
}

But it preforms as a NOOP.
I assume that why it doesn't work is because Boost.Build has
changed 
alot in 2 years.

Can anyone point out what wrong?

Never mind, I fixed it myself, after discovering that
"echo" works.

rule my-tag ( name : type ? : property-set )
{
    if $(type) = STATIC_LIB && [ $(property-set).get
<variant> ] = debug
    {
        local result = [
virtual-target.add-prefix-and-suffix $(name)_d 
: $(type) : $(property-set) ] ;
        return  $(result) ;
    }
}

Add a trailing semicolon?
