I got closer to making it work with:
[ run test.cpp  $(boost-build)libs/test/build//boost_test_exec_monitor

Now everything compiles but I get link errors:

msvc.link 
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\rdb\test\test.test\msvc-9.0express\debug\link-static\test.exe
test.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class

A Jamroot (sans extension), copied from the boost tree.
