(In [39104]) Make free features on the command line affect all targets, not just directly requested ones.

Fixes #985.

It doesn't work in 1.34.1 still. Where can I obtain this fix?

This fix is not quite correct. Refine the property-set needs to be done before checks for alredy built otherwise this check will never work (in case with free features in command line) because it checks property-set without refine (without free features from command line).

I already wrote about it twice (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/23390 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/23419), but received no response.
