Vladimir,

I've started looking at this. It seems as though it is the <dependency>
properties rather than the <library> properties which are helpful to me
(i.e. use "feature.get-values <dependency>"). The <library> properties
result in only the "prebuilt libraries", i.e. system libraries. 
However, at least for my project, the <dependency> property yields the
right information.

This may be due to the way I set up my libs. I tried to follow
instructions, including discussion on jamboost with respect to the
<dependency> property. My lib prototype is

lib $(LibId)
: $(Source) # only direct source files
: <dependency>$(DirectSubLibs) # allows me to find headers of my
sublibs (through
# their usage-requirements)
:
: <library>$(DirectSubLibs) # directs exe's who use me to link
also to my sublibs
;

Now this works just fine, except for the libraries being in no
particular order on the link line, so I don't think it's "wrong", but
you may have expected something different?
