Currently, outputFileTags is assumed to be a static list. You can fill 
it with everything your rule might produce. In your case it could look 
like ["hpp", "dynamiclibrary", "staticlibrary"].

There's no API yet for accessing the known file tags provided by file 
taggers. You might want to add a suggestion in the bug tracker.
