[Boost-build] library source in lib rule?

Hi,

As far as I understand, then the lib rule gets libraries in the source 
argument, it does not repack library sources into the new library.

What is then the difference between
        lib biglib : smalllib1 smalllib2 ;
and
        alias biglib : smalllib1 smalllib2 ;
?

What the lib rule do with the library args?
