[Boost-build] How to sort external libs from target built libs in tagging

Hello,

I'm trying to tag my projects targets (libraries and executables)
following the strategy used in the Jamroot file of the Boost distro,
as sugested in the documentation.

Since the project is also targeting the build of executables that
depend both on the built libraries and on third party ones, I need to
declare several lib targets for the third party dependencies, like:

lib z
    :
    : <host-os>linux:<name>z <search>$(ZLIB_HOME)/lib
        <host-os>windows:<file>$(ZLIB_HOME)/lib/zlib1.lib
    ;

How can I sort the third party dependencies from the target built libs
inside the tagging operator?

Any suggestions?

Thank you

João
