[Cook] Multiple independent targets of a recipe

I have a cook question.
I want to write a recipe which will produce one of two different targets
using the same set of commands and inputs.
Effectively I want the recipe to act as two separate recipes and act like:
target.elf : <inputs>
{
blah
}
target.coff : <same inputs>
{
same blah
}
but obviously I don't want all the repetition.
I tried writing it as follows:
target.elf target.coff : <inputs>
{
blah
}
Unfortuately, because the recipe only ever produces one of the two targets,
cook will always rebuild the target because it seems that cook expects such
a recipe to produce _both_ targets.
Putting a loop statement around the recipe does work:
ruleTargets = coff elf;
loop currTarget = [ruleTargets]
{
target.[currTarget] : <inputs>
{
blah
}
}
...which is kind of ugly. Is there a neater way of doing this?
thanks,
david
