Yes. Create a function as follows (in your Jamfile):

        rule require-windows ( properties * )
        {
                if ! <target-os>windows in $(properties)
                {
                        return <build>no ;
                }
        }

then, in requirements of your tests, use <conditional>@require-windows, e.g:

        [ bpl-test calling_conventions : : <condiitonal>@require-windows ]

Note that cygwin is a different OS from windows, so if the test must be run on
cygwin, you need to adjust conditional accordingly.

Does this help?
