Hi,

This is not exactly what you are asking for, but might be useful: for 
boost.test, I use the compiler capabilities/requirements instead:
- https://github.com/boostorg/test/blob/develop/test/Jamfile.v2
- https://github.com/boostorg/test/blob/develop/test/Jamfile.v2#L135

Creating composite requirements seem to work as well:
- https://github.com/boostorg/test/blob/develop/test/Jamfile.v2#L22
- https://github.com/boostorg/test/blob/develop/test/Jamfile.v2#L26

IMO it should work better that checking for c++11, especially for 
VStudio (or "gcc c++0x" vs "gcc c++11").

Hope this helps,
Raffi
