Hi there, I'm readying my boost submission for review. It's basically
an extension for boost::gil replacing the current Input/Output. Now,
I'm supporting png, tiff, and jpeg through their c-libs, like libpng,
etc.

My extension is header-only. Only for my unit tests I need to add
these dependencies. How is that usually done using jam files. I need
to add to my jam file is a way to set up path to the image libs header
files plus their respective lib files. It's suppose to work on Windows
and Linux platforms?

I have to admit my understanding on jam files are rather limited.

Thanks,
Christian
