For testing one library, forget about report generation.

Just go to status/ and 

     bjam <test-suite-name>

Or if the library has only one test:

   bjam <test-name>

where the test name is probably the basename of the test's .cpp file.
Add the --verbose-test option if you want to see the output of
successful tests.
