I'd use something like this (typed directly in email, untested):

import feature ;
feature.feature build-exe : no yes : link-incompatible composite optional propagated ;
feature.compose <build-exe>yes : <define>EXE ;

lib mylib : foo.cpp ;
exe myexe : foo.cpp : <build-exe>yes ;

Please let me know how that does work.
