And AFAIK besides creation of this sublibs file in the module's main 
directory you have to separate sub-library tests from the library's 
tests. It's even more magical because it seems that the test directory 
is special for bjam. To display properly on the regression tests list 
the directories containing tests should reflect exactly this pattern:

module/test
module/sublib1/test
module/sublib2/test
# etc.

So in the case of Core the tests for swap should be placed in 
core/swap/test (NOT core/test/swap). Then you'll see swap tests 
separated from other Core tests.

You can play with it running

b2 status --dump-tests --debug-configuration

and checking the generic paths generated by the bjam for all of the the 
tests.
To simplify things you may leave only Core tests in status/Jamfile.
