hey folks. I'm curious if anyone has made this work with JAM.

I'm trying to set up some default lists of link libraries and header locations that something in my build tree can use. My goal is to be able to just say something like 'TYPE=driver' in a Jamfile and have it build stuff with the appropriate pre-defined link options and dependencies.

I suppose that I could have it depend on a particular dummy target that sets up the link options and always gets called. I guess that could get slow, tho. Maybe it could be done with a bunch of variables defined at the top that get expanded when appropriate -- macros, I guess. Does my make background show? :)

what do you folks think?
