Hello boost-build users, I am resending this without company banner at bottom:

 
I am trying to piecemeal together a solution for setting the location of a unit 
test’s output XML file (which is different from stdout) using the run rule’s 
args argument. However, I am unable to find an appropriate variable to use for 
my $(test_base_name) variable below as none of the arguments passed in seem to 
have the necessary information.  Any suggestions? I see an example of this with 
the unit-test rule in the archives, should I use that instead?
 
rule run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : target-name ? : 
default-build * )
{
    testing.run  $(sources) __extra_libs__ : "-o $(test_base_name)_results.xml" 
$(args) : $(input-files) : $(requirements) : $(target-name) : $(default-build) ;
}
 
Also, I would like to set <testing.launcher> for a new toolchain that we have 
developed so that it only applies when that tool is used.  So far I have the 
solution below but this requires it to be specified in all Jamroots.  Is there a 
way to put it in the tool.jam file and not have it affect other tools used such 
as msvc?
 
project proj : requirements  <toolset>myTool:<testing.launcher>"myLauncher –c –o 
" ;
 
Thanks in advance for any help,
 
Chris
