Add to or otherwise modify the Jamfile that drives the test?

Looks like the io tests are specified in boost-root/status/Jamfile:

     run
       libs/io/test/ios_state_test.cpp 
<lib>../libs/test/build/boost_test_exec_monitor   # sources
       : # args
       : # input-files
       : <runtime-link>static # requirements (static runtime required by 
Metrowerks)
       ;

So add another test or change this one.

The "regression test guys" just run bjam against the Jamfile. It is up to 
library maintainers to make Jamfile changes when needed.

When a library grows beyond a single simple test, it becomes worthwhile to 
set up a test directory with its own Jamfile. Look at say filesystem for 
how it is done.
