I don't even see a Jamfile.

Take a look at status/Jamfile.v2:

    test-suite lambda
        : [ run libs/lambda/test/algorithm_test.cpp test_exec_monitor ]
          [ run libs/lambda/test/bind_tests_simple.cpp test_exec_monitor ]
          [ run libs/lambda/test/bind_tests_advanced.cpp test_exec_monitor ]
          [ run libs/lambda/test/bind_tests_simple_f_refs.cpp test_exec_monitor ]
          [ run libs/lambda/test/bll_and_function.cpp test_exec_monitor ]

This (declaring tests in status/Jamfile*) is not the best practice,
however that's how lambda tests were declared in V1. It was carried over
to V2.
