conditionals on ?

Say I have a lib targets:

lib program_options : $(sources) : 
<define>PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DYN_LINK:<link>shared ;

lib coollib : $(cool_srces) :
<define>COOL_DYN_LINK:<link>shared ;

and an exe target:

exe myapp : mysrc.cpp program_options coollib : 
<define>PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DYN_LINK ;

The idea is to control which library is been linked static,
and which is 
  to be linked as shared lib.

However, although Boost.Build does not complain, the
conditional doesn't 
seem to evaluate.

Any hints welcome!

Btw.: What is the recommended way to specify mixed link type
at all?
I.e.
exe myapp : src.cpp lib1 lib2 ;
How do I specify lib1 is to link statically while lib2
shared?

You should be able to do "exe myapp : src.cpp
lib1/<link>static
lib2/<link>shared ;", I believe -- I haven't been
able to find where I
did that before.

If you want it controlled by a feature, I think you'll have
to make your
own, since <define> isn't one of the features that
differentiate between
builds.  Something like this _might_ work:

    feature program_options_link : shared static ;

    lib program_options : $(sources) :
    <program_options_link>shared:<link>shared
    <program_options_link>static:<link>static ;

    exe myapp : mysrc.cpp program_options coollib :
    <program_options_link>shared ;

Thank you, works like a charm.
And it's documented too  I just was
not looking in the right place.
