<code language="jam">rule generate ( property-set )</code>
<para>
Generates virtual targets for this abstract target using the specified
properties, unless a different value of some feature is required by the
target. This is an abstract method which must be overriden by derived
classes.
</para>
<para>
On success, returns:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>a property-set with the usage requirements to be applied to dependents</listitem>
<listitem>a list of produced virtual targets, which may be empty.</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
If <code language="jam">property-set</code> is empty, performs the
default build of this target, in a way specific to the derived class.
