external library question

Hi,

I have a question about linking external libraries. For
example, for  
the HDF5 library we need to link two libraries: hdf5_cpp and
hdf5.

Is there a better way then just declaring two library
targets as in:

lib hdf5
   :
   : <name>hdf5 <search>/path/lib
   :
   : <include>/path/include
   ;

lib hdf5cpp
   :
   : <name>hdf5_cpp <search>/path/lib
<use>hdf5
   :
   : <include>/path/include
   ;


Also, what is the best way to specify the path to the
library as an  
argument? Are there any examples?

Matthias
