How does this actually work ? I have been proposing changes to
Boost.Build (v2) to allow an individual library to be built / tested
against an installed (or at least, external) boost tree providing
the prerequisites.
Up to now, this isn't quite possible, IIUC, so your statement
makes me wonder how you achieved this.

This is indeed one of the most important (yet seemingly simple
to implement) changes I would like to see in the testing procedure.

Thanks,
                Stefan
