Yes, but if I add additional "-" to the name, bjam thinks I'm asking for 
subfeatures that don't exist for that toolset.

I'd like to call my toolset: clang-3.2-c++11-libc++ (to get plenty of 
line breaks), but bjam seems to tokenise the name on "-" and do clever 
stuff with it, resulting in:

notice: will use 'clang++' for clang-linux, condition 
<toolset>clang-linux-3.2-c++11-libc++
/home/ben/development/boost/test/build/tools_bb/build/feature.jam:312: 
in implied-subfeature from module feature
error: "3.2" is not a known subfeature value of <toolset>clang

But if I name it clang-3.2_c++11_libc++ then it works fine, but I don't 
get line breaks on the results page and for some reason it adds "linux-" 
to the name: clang-linux-3.2_c++11_libc++.

Would it be possible to add c++11 and libc++ as subfeatures by equating 
c++11 with <cxxflags>-std=c++11 and libc++ with <cxxflags>-stdlib=libc++ 
in user-config.jam?

On the history page for each release it states:
Boost's primary test compilers are:
and
Boost's additional test compilers include:

I was wondering how primary test compilers are chosen.

Thanks,

Ben.
