Thank you for your prompt answer. I was hoping for something like 
"precompiled" properties and dependencies for the parts of the source 
code that do not change often (such as third party libraries).

I'll try something like that. Is there a way to save writing an other 
jamefile to compile the libraries used when track-all-dependencies is 
not set ?
