Okay, done. The only problem is that expand-subfeatures tries to expand
<toolset-msvc:version>6.5 and expand-subfeatures-aux fails on that.
If I change expand-subfeatures to contains:

for local p in $(properties)
{
if ! [ MATCH "(:)" : $(p:G) ] 
{ 
result += [ expand-subfeatures-aux $(p:G) : $(p:G=) ] ;
}
else
{
result += $(p) ;
}
}

the test passes. 

BTW, passes really -- with msvc 6.5. I've found a Windows box
which has it installed. The only problem that the monitor there 
changes color every tree seconds, and there's no "touch" command, 
so I haven't tried to run all the tests yet.
('generators-test' want 'touch')
