Just picked these up from CVS HEAD. 

The fix looks good. All three syntaxes work as expected. I'm impressed!

I made an interestingly discovery by accidentally having one to many ':'. When 
the conditional properties appear in the "default-build" arguments the error 
messages become very confusing.

With
: <toolset>intel,<toolset-intel:platform>linux:<cxxflags>TEST
I see
error: "intel,<toolset" is not a known value of feature <toolset>

While with the simpler
: <toolset-intel:platform>linux:<cxxflags>TEST
I see
error: "linux:<cxxflags>TEST" is not a known value of feature 
<toolset-intel:platform>

In a future (far of) it might be interesting to generate a more meaningful 
error in these cases. I will put it on my TODO list!
