Concerting <stdlib>, one possible approach is to go to property.jam, rule 
expand-subfeatures-in-condition, and adjust the hardcoded list of non-checked 
features.

The thing is, I believe that hardcoded lists like this should have at most two 
elements, and adding <stdlib> will make it three-element list, so maybe we 
need to start looking for a general solution.
