You could define custom features for this purpose. For an example, look at 
the Jamroot attached to:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/21130

The message itself is related to a problem with passing features containing 
a colon (":") inside its value, but you should get the general idea by 
looking at the attached file. Just trim the "fluff" away.
