We keep "features" in separate files, first and foremost. Then I
imagine it is not so difficult (except we don't have your managers),
just develop your features on separate branches where all common files
are just there and all specific feature files get edited..
When someone wants the "release" with some combination of features he
just merges the changes from the previous release on the various
branches where new features live into a ReleaseX branch (or onot TRUNK
if you want). Then verify this combination by building it and go.

Of course the moment features are interdependent then the feature
branches need the files from other feature branches and you are
probably dead....
