I have seen this in the documentation but didn't manage to make it work
the way I specify libraries. I mean the following is not possible (?):

lib mingw32 : : <library>/mingw32//mingw32 ;
lib SDL : : <use> mingw32 <library>/SDL//SDL ;
exe testSDL : testSDL.cpp SDL mingw32 ;

But maybe I should not use <library> and try to make it work like in the
documentation, ie:
lib mingw32 ;
lib SDL : : <use> mingw32 ;
exe testSDL : testSDL.cpp SDL mingw32 ;

But then I will need to specify in the include path for each project and
what I wanted is to have a toolset that I can re-use in all my project
that configures the SDL include/lib path and libs names, like what qt.jam
does for qt.

Mine should be 6-8 month old, maybe I should update...
