 I added a feature to take advantage of Apple's linker option "-force_load"
 (see [61684]). Unfortunately it doesn't totally work. The dependency I
 specify is a BB target itself, for example:

 {{{
 lib mylib : x.cpp ;

 exe test : main.cpp : <force-load>mylib/<link>static ;
 }}}

 Will add the correct link option and path to the archive. But it doesn't
 build, as I would expect, the mylib.a archive.
