I didn't fully demangle the maze of demangler feature tests yet :-) I 
added a single testcase, the rest is still detected using the old method.

Any assymetry in detection is probably a bug in my patches.

If that nested series of conditions is really necessary then we can add 
separate testcases for each, the same file built with different linker 
flags.
