Mostly, you can use the header only parts of the library. Therefore, you
have to define

<define>BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB

in the requirements in your Jamfile. This prevents the auto-linking of
the date_time library. I think this is also possible with an appropriate
preprocessor statement, but I do not know exactly how this works.

Otherwise, you have to build the library and link against it.
