How do I make it pass requirements?

# This doesn't work since it passes the requirements to the rule
definition properties:
rule objgroup ( sources + : requirements + )
{
   local g = ;
   for s in $(sources) {
      local name = $(s:B) ;
      obj $(name) : $(s) : requirements ;
      g += $(name) ;
   }
   return $(g) ;
}

alias jaguar_shared : [ objgroup [ glob *.cpp ] : <define>SOMEMACRO1 ] ;

Is there a doc for people trying to understand the bjam language?  Is it
derived from something else?

BTW: I thought bjam wasn't using --start-group --end-group.  It is.  It
puts everything in it.  For some reason my ld is ignoring it.
