Actually, maybe propagation is not the correct way to address this 
problem. I think what we really want to be able to say is that 
<user-interface> has no effect on anything besides exes. For 
instance if I have a shared library:

lib a : a.cpp : <link>shared ;

Typing:

bjam <user-interface>gui
bjam <user-interface>console
bjam

Should all have the exact same effect. Propagation becomes a mute 
point. What do you think?
