Yes. I define

import feature ;

#
# Composite feaure that ensures <define> can propagate
# to all dependencies, not just sub-projects.
#

feature.feature secure-stl : on off : propagated composite optional ;
feature.compose <secure-stl>off : <define>_SECURE_SCL=0
                                   <define>_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE=1
                                   <define>_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE=1
                                   <define>_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE=1 ;

And then add

          <secure-stl>off

to the requirements.

I am in favor of libraries being named differently, eg. with "_nsc" suffix.
