[Boost-build] [build] Compiler requirement for a header only library

I have a header only library, which needs a particular compiler 
requirement to be set when the library's header files are included. I do 
not want to have to change the jam file for every library which uses my 
library. Is there a way to do this with Boost Build so that any library 
which includes one of my library's header files has the particular 
option for the particular compiler set properly. I do know about 
conditional requirements in Boost Build but I do not understand how a 
particular jamfile in a header directory can enforce such an option for 
other libraries.
