You basically run "bjam" in the libs/program_options/test folder.

I have applied your patch, thanks! There was a minor issue with the
testcase, namely:

        char* cmdline6_[] = {  "--imp=1 -m" }; 

should have being:

        char* cmdline6_[] = {  "--imp=1", "-m" }; 

But otherwise there were no problems.

Thanks,
