[Boost-build] Boost.build v2 and the rest of Boost

I'm trying to use Boost libraries (program_options, s11n, regex) with my 
program. So far I've noticed that v2 Jamfiles do not specify usage 
requirements.

For example:
==================================
project boost/signals
     : source-location ../src
     ;

# Base names of the source files for libboost_signals
SOURCES = trackable connection named_slot_map signal_base slot ;

lib boost_signals : $(SOURCES).cpp
     :
         <define>BOOST_SIGNALS_NO_LIB=1
         <link>shared:<define>BOOST_SIGNALS_DYN_LINK=1
     ;
==================================
If I build boost_signals as a shared library and then try to link it 
with my application (by specifying /boost/signals//boost_signals in its 
source list) I get autolink errors, because BOOST_SIGNALS_NO_LIB is NOT 
defined.

I'm going to add coorect <define>s to usage requirements for Boost 
libraries (and fix autolink support). Is this OK or am I going to 
duplicate someone's work?
