Or to run a specific test: bjam -sTOOLS="kcc como" multi_array

While you can inspect the output log (which I usually redirect to a file 
for later inspection) to see what worked and what didn't, if you are 
running a lot of compilers or the full test suite, it is easier to run the 
jam_regr_html program and look at the output with a web 
browser.  jam_regr_html.cpp is found in the boost-sandbox CVS, 
root/libs/filesystem/example/jam_regr_html.cpp
