dll dependency resolves to lib

Hello,

I am using bjam on msvc [not my choice] on a foobar project:

foo:
+- Jamfile
| Jamrules
| foo.cpp
+- bar
+- Jamfile
bar.cpp
bar.h

--------------------------
Jamfile in bar is:

subproject bar;

dll bar : bar.cpp
: <include>bar.h
: debug ;
__________________________

Jamfile in foo is:

project-root ;

subinclude bar ;

exe foo : foo.cpp <dll>bar/bar
:
: debug ;
--------------------------

Upon building this project (bjam -sTOOLS=msvc foo), bjam stops at the
linking stage, saying he can't find bar.lib. bjam did built bar.dll
correctly though, so I don't know why he still expects a .lib file.

I tried to modify the line in allyourbase.jam about SUFDLL under the NT
section from '.dll .lib' to just '.dll', but it didn't work.

Thanks for your help.
