Specifically, now, if a library is installed solely as a prerequisite of
an executable (potentially recursively), then only its runtime files are
installed omitting everything buildtime-related (static/import libraries,
non-versioned symlinks for shared libraries, pkg-config files, headers,
etc). If you are familiar with the runtime and -dev/-devel package splits
for libraries in Debian/Fedora, this is an analogous semantics.

This turned out not to be always correct since a static library can have
prerequisites that it requires at runtime (see the libca-certificates-curl for
an example). The new plan is to split static/shared library installation into
run-time and build-time parts using the new match options mechanism.

A rule hint is a target attribute, for example:
[rule_hint=cxx] exe{hello}: c{hello}
Rule hints can be used to resolve ambiguity when multiple rules match the same
target as well as to override an unambiguous match.

It is also now possible to adjust this behavior with global
config.install.scope override. Valid values for this variable
are:
project -- only from project
strong -- from strong amalgamation
weak -- from weak amalgamation
global -- from all projects (default)
