Greetings,

Is it possible to define library definitions "up" in the chain of
jamfile.jam files.  For example, I would like to define:

lib advapi32 : : <name>advapi32 ;
lib comdlg32 : : <name>comdlg32 ;
lib gdi32    : : <name>gdi32 ;
lib glu32    : : <name>glu32 ;
lib imm32    : : <name>imm32 ;
lib kernel32 : : <name>kernel32 ;
lib ole32    : : <name>ole32 ;
lib oleaut32 : : <name>oleaut32 ;
lib opengl32 : : <name>opengl32 ;
lib shell32  : : <name>shell32 ;
lib user32   : : <name>user32 ;
lib uuid     : : <name>uuid ;
lib winmm    : : <name>winmm ;
lib winspool : : <name>winspool ;
lib ws2_32   : : <name>ws2_32 ;
alias libs_core    : kernel32 user32 shell32 uuid ole32 advapi32
ws2_32 ;
alias libs_gui     : gdi32 comdlg32 oleaut32 imm32 winmm winspool
ws2_32 ole32 user32 advapi32 ;
alias libs_network : ws2_32 ;
alias libs_opengl  : glu32 opengl32 gdi32 user32 ;
alias libs_compat  : advapi32 shell32 comdlg32 user32 gdi32
ws2_32 ;

It would then be convenient to access the various libraries by
their aliases.

Thanks,
