It seems that linkage of CGAL-vc90-mt-gd.lib is specified via msvc 
#pragmas, so it should suffice to provide the library path to the 
linker. Try adding:

<library-path>D:/Program\ Files/CGAL-3.9/lib

to the project requirements. You can also specify multiple requirements 
in the project rule:

project : requirements
     <library>/boost/python//boost_python
     <include>D:/Program\ Files/CGAL-3.9/include
     <include>D:/Program\ Files/CGAL-3.9/auxiliary/gmp/include
     <library-path>D:/Program\ Files/CGAL-3.9/lib ;
