[Boost-build] Boost-build] Chaining conditional requirements

Hi,

I want to force <runtime-link>static whenever I build <toolset>gcc  
and I'm <link>static.  I've tried adding this to my Jamroot project  
but it doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone know how to express this  
kind of dependency?

[ in Jamroot ]

project
   : requirements
     <toolset>gcc:<link>static:<runtime-link>static
   ;

There's an example in the user documentation but it doesn't quite do  
what I want.

lib util
   : util.cpp
   : <toolset>msvc:<link>static
     <link>static:<define>STATIC_LINK
   ;

I don't want to always force gcc to link static, just want to force  
the runtime to link static if building gcc and already link=static  
specified by the user.

Thanks.
