Ok here is a snippet of my actual Jamfile.  For some reason only the first
of these gets built and run.  Any ideas?

   test-suite date_time_posixtime
     : 
   [ run posix_time/testc_local_adjustor.cpp
     <lib>../build/boost_date_time
    : : : <define>DATE_TIME_INLINE <define>BOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG ]
   # bunch of other tests
  ;

   #test the 64bit configuration
   test-suite date_time_posixtime_64bit
     : 
   [ run posix_time/testc_local_adjustor.cpp
     <lib>../build/boost_date_time
    : : 64b_local_adjustor : <define>DATE_TIME_INLINE  ]
  ;

Nice, thanks!
