Conditional requirements are discussed here:

--debug-building should show this.

i.e. default-build vs. requirements?
http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/bbv2/overview/targets.html#idp87999872

"Requirements

Requirements are the properties that should always be present when
building a target. "

"Default Build

The default-build parameter is a set of properties to be used if the
build request does not otherwise specify a value for features in the set"
