There doesn't seem to be much quickbook development going on at the
moment, I think Joel's busy with Spirit 2 and other things. You might
want to create a feature request ticket on Trac to make sure this
isn't forgotten.

What you can do for now is what boost does, and write a quickbook file
for each chapter and pull them together in with 'xi:include' tags in
BoostBook. This is a little fiddly but not that hard. You can use
'doc/src/boost.xml' and 'doc/Jamfile.v2' as guides. You'll need both a
'<dependency>' and an '<implicit-dependency>' for each chapter in the
Jamfile.
