 bjam --dump-tests --toolset=sun -j4
 failed, incorrectly complaining about a wrong stdlib feature:

  'sun is not a known value of feature stdlib'

 I think tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam contains correct line:
 feature.extend stdlib : sun-stlport ;

 The problem occurs in
 tools/build/v2/build/feture.jam
 in the validate-value-string() function.
 This function gets two arguments:
   feature=stdlib
   value-string=sun-stlport
 it divides 'sun-stlport' value into two values:
 'sun' and 'stlport'  (line 473):

  values = [ regex.split $(value-string) - ] ;

 which is probably wrong, and then this function immediately complains abut
 wrong value 'sun' (Line 482).
