Except that we don't have such mechanism at the moment. Trying:

<toolset>msvc,<tool>c:<flags>-whatever

won't work, because that will require that <tool>c in is build properties when 
you start building the target. And when starting building the target, we 
don't have any idea what tools will be used.
