Sod's law dictates that one minute after crying for help
on a mailing list you'll work out the answer yourself...

<library-file>

But... the reason I had so much trouble is because on
NT/MSVC the build system creates a .CMD file for the
linker... and if the link fails the .CMD file is left behind...
you then patch your jamfile, but the .CMD isn't recreated,
it just uses the old one... so if you don't know or forget
to delete the .CMD file you'll never know if your patch
to the jamfile made any difference.

  Subject: [boost] jam - exe rule

  I'm trying to reuse the boost build system for my own project.
  I've managed to get some libraries built and am linking them
  into an exe... but I have a .lib not built by my system that I
  also want to link in. How do I do this? 

  I tried this, where xxx.lib is the library I want to link in...

  exe foo : foo.cpp <lib>../baz xxx.lib

  And, I tried various combinations of LinkLibraries, NEEDLIBS,
  and LINKSLIBS... and i'm just flailing about. Is this just not
  supported, or am I just being dumb?
