No. You're advised to use either CVS state, or nightly build from 

   http://boost.org/boost-build2

Since we have automatic regression tests for Boost.Build, serious regresions 
are not very likely, so using CVS/nightly is relatively safe.

You can use either conditional requirements or target alternatives:

  http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/targets.html#id2572339
  http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/targets.html#id2572501

(That's CVS docs, and "indirect conditional requirements" mentioned there is 
that new feature not available in 1.33.1. Ordinary conditional requirements 
were available for a long time now)
