You know, there's one problem. If you run 'bjam' once for each test, it can
be slow in itself. At least for me, running 'bjam' in status directory
takes about 40 seconds, no matter if I request specific target -- with
Boost.Build v1. V2 might behave better, but still... I'm not sure if that
won't be too slow.
