yeah, that worked great for the static libs. The only problem left
are the 
shared libs, which are generated with the .so suffix and without an
import lib. 
I have tried to understand why this happens but I have to admit that
I have no 
idea. Does anybody know how I could force bjam to do that link phase
like it 
does on windows?
