[boost] how to compile regression tests

Sorry for this possibly naive question.
But I can't figure out how to compile the regression tests.

So far I found cd'ing into a specific libs/test directory and invoking
bjam on it compiles the test for a specific library.
But how can I compile all? I cannot find a rule like
stage or install in the root Jamfile. Isn't it possible to recurse
through all directories?

Then I cannot manage to get a results page using the description
in http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/more/regression.html
Instead I get:

I am using vc7.1 on W2 with the latest CVS MAIN. I currently assume this 
should work under windows, doesn't it?

Thank you for help,
