As I've said previously, one of the problems is that Boost.Build does not
use 'xerces' in any way, but does not warn about it. The CVS now
contains a fix and a test for this: any source target which is not used will
generate a warning.

Regarding the other issue, linking a library into a library, I'll have to do 
some more research. In particular:
1. Is it possible to link two static libraries together with GNU ar
2. Is there are way to link shared library into static one (seems impossible 
to me).

Or you know the answers off-hand?
