I have not figured out any existing way to do this.  Can I propose 
adding the attached patches to tools\build\v2\tools\builtin.jam and 
tools\build\v2\tools\msvc.jam?  They create new 'exelinkflags' and 
'dlllinkflags' features that can be used to pass options to the linker 
command line specifically either for executable link actions or for dll 
link actions.  Does anyone have an objection to this?  Or perhaps 
someone has a different implementation in mind that might solve the 
problem better?

Thanks,
