#  Implements scanners: objects that compute implicit dependencies for
#  files, such as includes in C++.
#
#  Scanner has a regular expression used to find dependencies, some
#  data needed to interpret those dependencies (for example, include
#  paths), and a code which actually established needed relationship
#  between actual jam targets.
#
#  Scanner objects are created by actions, when they try to actualize
#  virtual targets, passed to 'virtual-target.actualize' method and are
#  then associated with actual targets. It is possible to use
#  several scanners for a virtual-target. For example, a single source
#  might be used by to compile actions, with different include paths.
#  In this case, two different actual targets will be created, each 
#  having scanner of its own.
#
#  Typically, scanners are created from target type and action's 
#  properties, using the rule 'get' in this module. Directly creating
#  scanners is not recommended, because it might create many equvivalent
#  but different instances, and lead in unneeded duplication of
#  actual targets. However, actions can also create scanners in a special
#  way, instead of relying on just target type.
