I've got something like this in my Jamroot:

# find memory-leaks 
import feature ;
feature.feature memory-check : off on : propagated ;

> and conditionally specify other requirements based on that in the Jamfile:
> lib PortingLayer : <platform>Win32:<include>Win32

and then use

        # Boost-Options
        # Shared-Ptr with Quick-Allocator
        # ------------------------------
        <memory-check>off:<define>BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR

and
        # Memory-Management
        # -----------------
        <memory-check>on:<define>PROJECT_MEMORY_CHECK

in my "requirements".

Note that this is a feature with fixed values, but "free" should work also.

I hope this helps.
