[boost] discrepancy between regression tests and manual testing

While examining some error in regression tests I have noticeed that this 
error does not appear when I'm starting bjam in "test" directory of 
library. It does however appear in regression test. Reason for this 
discrepancy is that regression tests are always started from 
boost/status/Jamfile , and this Jamfile contains number of settings for 
specific tests ; thus when test started from different Jamfile (like the 
one in test directory) these settings are not applied, effectively both 
Jamfiles produce different results.

I hope it's possible to move all these library-specific settings into 
specific Jamfiles in test directories? Right now it might be quite 
difficult to fix regression errors for someone not willing to run full 
regression tests.
