Thanks. Everything is below. I think I am getting closer: maybe it's the 
way I refer to the test monitor: ../../test/build//boost_test_exec_monitor

I gues I should put a bjam variable there...

My boost tree is at:
C:\Users\JLL\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\boost_1_40_0

For the first attempt: no Jamfile in the root of my tree.
