You can change libs/msm/test/Jamfile.v2 like this

project msm
     :
     requirements
         <include>.
         <library>/boost/test//boost_unit_test_framework/<link>static
     ;

to link against Boost.Test libraries.  I'm not sure but I think that's  
all you need.

Look in status/Jamfile.v2 and follow the pattern (add line for msm/ 
test in the appropriate place) to get your product's tests running.

Hope that helps.
