In fact, it was the source folder that I wanted to add (since the .c files
aren't in the source folder when the get compiled). What I had was this:

lib name : one.ec two.c : : : <include>. ;

Because I was making the assumption that the includes in usage-requirements
would also apply to building the library itself. Now I realise that they do not
and I've changed it to this:

lib name : one.ec two.c : <include>. : : <include>. ;

And all is well now.

Thanks,
