All that you saying works as expect but .... What if I have three
targets lib tmp, lib foo, exe bar.
lib foo depends on lib tmp, and exe bar depends lib foo. If I add

<dependency>@/boost/date_time/boost_date_time

to lib tmp, than lib foo will build with boost/date_time defines. But
when I add to lib foo either <dependency> or <library> on lib tmp, lib foo
builds without boost/date_time defines. I don't want to add
<dependency>@/boost/date_time to lib foo explicitly. What am I doing wrong
?

I have found nothing about <dependency> in boost_build_v2.html form
cvs. Did I miss something?
