Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 First, not that address-model and architecture are now passed.

 Second, it's not a random Jamfile author -- it's somebody who implements a
 configuration check, and while that check is in Jamfile in this specific
 case, he might as well be in a special module. Given that you're
 implementing a configuration check, you should know what properties
 determine its outcome. In case of ICU, you should know whether debug or
 release variant determines the outcome. The only other alternative is to
 re-run a check for every possible set of properties ever used anywhere,
 which might waste time.
