[C++-sig] Linking files in JAMFILE with boost

The canonical method for this is to invoke 'libtool'. You can check out
an example here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Linking-executables

I'm by no means any kind of expert or even really a novice with libtool.
I've mucked about in open source projects that were set up to build with
it and that's about it.

And what would you do from the command-line in order to link to an .la
file "manually?"
