Comment (by johnmaddock):

 Dave,

 That Jamfile tests the auto-linking code: it is very important that the
 library is not a dependency of the executable, since then we're not
 testing what we think we are :-(

 Obviously this Jamfile only makes any sense for Windows compilers that
 support auto-linking, hence it's not part of status/Jamfile.v2.

 John.
