Subject: [Boost-build] Using 'explicit' targets
From: Edward Diener (eldiener_at_[hidden])

I think the way 'explicit' targets in a jamfile should work is that if
you specify any 'explicit' targets b2 should check all targets in the
jamfile along with the 'explicit' targets. Instead it only checks the
'explicit' targets if you specify them. I realize this is different from
specifying non-explicit targets in a jamfile, but I think that
'explicit' defeats its purpose by not checking all non-explicit targets
also when it is being used.
