Boost-Build : |

There doesn't appear to be any mechanism available to add libraries to
the link line. So for example I would like to add wininet.lib to the
link line using the Borland toolset. I could add the library using the
<linkflags> declaration, but this just upsets the linker because the
library is not placed in the link line where it would like to see it and
besides which it is an ugly hack.
Is there a mechanism available for adding libraries to the link line?
I've had a look through a couple of the toolset/.jam files and there
doesn't appear to be a standard mechanism available.
Typically in make this would be done by adding to a LIBS, LIBRARIES or a
SYSLIBS variable.
I see <library> exists but this is used for defining boost buildable
libraries - I think. If I was sick I could probably explicitly state
the system libs with a full path using this mechanism and it may work,
but I don't think that is the intent of the mechanism.
Thoughts?
