[Boost-build] toolset dependent test-suite behavior

Hello,

I want to do something like this:

test-suite cxx11_varadic : [ compile-fail varadic.cpp ] : <toolset>mscv ;

test-suite cxx11_varadic : [ compile varadic.cpp ] : <toolset>gcc ;

Means it's intended the rule called cxx11_varadic doesn't compile using
the msvc toolset but compiles fine if toolset gcc is used.

Unfortunately I get "No best alternative" errors calling the rule:

error: No best alternative for utils/system/tests/c++11/cond_test
next alternative: required properties: <threading>multi
matched
next alternative: required properties: <threading>multi
matched
...found 1 target...

Is there / what would be a proper way to declare something like this?

Many thanks in advance,
Jan.
