Well, :-)
I've tried 
lib patterns : : <name>patterns <search>e:/dev/lib/vc7 ;
unit-test dirchgqz : dirchgqz.cpp dirchg patterns ;
but the linker doesnt get it. 

however, if I try
lib lib1 : : <name>lib1 <search>e:/dev/lib/vc7 ;
exe app : app.cpp lib1 ; 
(adapted from the libaries example - with 
#include "../lib1/include/lib1.h" in app.cpp) it links!!!

I sort of dont get it (apart from, I must be doing something 
wrong ...) can I do some tracing or debugging in bjam as with -d or -
n in make (--debug is not getting me what I am looking for)

I m already using <linkflags>-VERBOSE (vc7.1)

Im outside the boost tree, with a copy of boost-build.jam in the root 
of my project (dont like ENV) pointing to e:/dev/stl/boost/boost-
build/kernel. Shouldnt matter ... ??
