Hello Everyone,

I would like to add -std=c99 as a requirement to the project with C as 
well as C++ code. So I added it using the <cflag> feature, which breaks 
compilation of C++ code.

I have noticed that in the manual it says that cflags contains options 
for both C and C++ compilation.  I have also noticed that a feature 
called <compileflags> is being used in the msvc.jam. It seems to be a 
set of options that is common to C and C++ compilation. This feature is 
currently not usable for the gcc toolset which to me is rather confusing.

Best,

Jeroen
