Hmmm... replying to myself here...

I *thought* I had tested that last part ("<target-os>linux:<library>rt") 
but it turns out that it doesn't work.  I get an error saying it can't 
find "rt" (but "[ lib rt ]" on the "exe" line works fine).  I had to use 
this instead (which did work):

    project
        : requirements
            <target-os>windows:<include>d:/cygwin/usr/include/boost-1_33_1
            <target-os>linux:<linkflags>-lrt
        ;

*Should* "<library>rt" have worked?

Thanks again,
