I have finally got this work using

# Clang tool configuration based on as used by Jurgen Hunold 16 Nov 2012

using clang
        :  #version
        3.1 
        :  # compiler
        "C:/mingw32-dw2/bin/clang++.exe" 
        : # options  (header path)
        <cxxflags>-v # verbose for testing.
        <cxxflags>-IC:/mingw32-dw2/include/c++/4.6.3 # for stdlib?
        <cxxflags>-IC:/mingw32-dw2/i686-w64-mingw32/include
        :  
        ;

but it failed to link because these two files were not found

        "C:/mingw32-dw2/bin/ar.exe" 
        "C:/mingw32-dw2/bin/ranlib.exe"

adding

  <root>"C:/mingw32-dw2/bin"

didn't work, so I hacked it by adding

  set PATH=c:/mingw32-dw2/bin;%PATH%

to my command file calling bjam ...

(I've asked on the Boost Build list for suggestion on how this *should* be done).

This general the expected libraries

I:/boost-trunk/stage/lib/libbost_unit_test_framework-clang31-mt-sd-1_53.lib

I:/boost-trunk/stage/lib/libbost_unit_test_framework-clang31-mt-s-1_53.lib

and, after some difficulty getting NetBeans to find this file, I finally got a simple program using
Boost.Test to work.

Many thanks for your invaluable help.
