[Boost-build] Pre-built library path/names in jamroot

Subject: [Boost-build] Pre-built library path/names in jamroot

Structure:

Jamroot.jam
    Jamfile.jam

Since people are compiling on different platforms the Jamroot only 
contains things such as include paths and defines.

How do I add an alias for a pre-built library so that the Jamfile can 
use it?

e.g.

lib xmlrpc
        :
        : <file>d:/dev/libs/xmlrpc/lib/xmlrpc.lib
        ;

this works if I put this in the Jamfile (which I can't, since the path 
won't work for other users), but it won't work if I put it in the 
Jamroot. (which is what I want since everyone could insert their own path)

Regards,
