I'm not sure I understand the question, because the answer I'm about to give is one that I'm sure Volodya already knows: With the current version of Boost.Build, if you want to use Boost in a Boost.Build project that's outside the Boost tree, you have to use <library-path> and <find-library> (which translate into -L... and -l...) rather than <lib> and <dll>. The latter automatically cause dependencies to be rebuilt when outdated; in the former case you'll have to make sure that whatever Boost library objects you're dependent on are explicitly built first.
