[Boost-build] How to get Boost build to embed install path into library

Here's a tougher one:

I need to embed a path generated from the install prefix into my library 
so it can find files at runtime.  This isn't hard to do, since I can use 
a <conditional> requirement to generate <cxx-flags>-DMYPATH=... from 
<install-default-prefix>, but here's the problem.  If the user uses bjam 
to build the library, and then calls bjam later and changes 
<install-default-prefix>, how do I get the library to rebuild with the 
new -D option?
