Hi Noel,

This isn't perhaps the answer you're looking for, but instead of using
feature flags, you can specify <cflags>, <cxxflags> and <linkflags> --
that way, the features of the compiler don't show up as part of the
build path. Here's an example:

project :
  : build-dir buildoutput
  : requirements
    <toolset>msvc:<cflags>/GS
    <toolset>msvc:<linkflags>/FORCE:MULTIPLE
  :
  ;
