Do you realize that you can link two static libraries together...

And at the very best, this usage of ../math//math will link to vectorlib and 
matrixlib, individually. If so, you can just use:

alias math : vectorlib matrixlib ;

In current CVS, if you add a source file to 'math', you'll get everything 
linked in, and without it, you'll get error building 'math', because current 
code does not think building a library without no real sources is a good 
idea. Indeed, I don't even know how to create empty .a file.
