Hi Hugo,

No, you're not doing anything wrong. The current Boost.Build isn't set up to
handle cross-project dependencies. We're planning to fix that for V2. In the
meantime the best suggestion I have is to stick your project in the boost
tree, or vice-versa (and fix up the subproject invocations in Jamfiles as
appropriate).

Regards,
Dave
