Excellent. Do you have Python on your box? If so, I'd appreciate if you write 
a testcase for this bug. Just make a copy of tests/template.py and change 
Jamfile content to have two alias alternatives, just like in your example, 
but without any sources.

To avoid conflicts with real borland and msvc, the project-root.jam created by 
the test should reads:

import feature ;
feature.extend toolset : xborland ;
feature.subfeature toolset xborland : version : 5.6 : propagated ;
feature.extend toolset : xmsvc ;

and conditions should use the "xborland" and "xmsvc" toosets. This should be 
pretty simple, and would make sure I won't break your use case during further 
hacking.

Thanks in advance,
