[boost] Help requested building and running tests

I apologize in advance.  I can not figure out how to get tests to build
and run correctly from within subdirectories.  The --builddir option
does not seem to be honored, and the Jamfiles are so "simple" that I
haven't a clue as to what is happening.

To be honest, I have made several attempts at using bjam, but the only
thing I can get to work is a toplevel make of everything.  So, for all
my own stuff, I have been using a mirror hierarchy and Makefiles (since
that is what I have been using for the last 2 decades).

However, I now want to get some code ready for submission (I have moved
type_id and in the process have written a dynamic library wrapper as
well).  Unfortunately, I can not get my tests to integrate very well
within boost.  Thus, I humbly ask for any pointers and/or assistance in
this regard.

Thanks!
