Many thanks, Daniel, Vladimir, and Volodya,

That worked on linux. However it failed on darwin,
because the darwin linker seems to be sensitive about
the order of arguments. So I had to hack my gcc.jam
and darwin.jam (those are the only two platforms I
test on right now) to include a new feature, which I
called <extralibs>, which tacks them onto the end of
the argument list for the call to gcc (instead of the
beginning, which is what this does). So now I can do
this:

exe thingy : main.cc 
: <cflags>"`Magick++-config --cppflags`" 
<extralibs>"`Magick++-config --libs` `Magick++-config
--ldflags`"
;

Thanks again!
-Ian
