The ":" separate paramaters to the 'exe' function and the list of
properties that must be present when building a target is specified
using the 'requirements' parameter. Consequently, the above should be:

 exe fractionsX
         : ../fractions.cpp ../fractions_misc.cpp  ../stdafx.cpp
         : <include>../../include
           <include>C:/nan/boost/boost_1_38_0
           <linkflags>"/LIBPATH:C:/nan/boost/boost_1_38_0/stage/lib"
    ;
