As part of decentralization, should we not change status/Jamfile.v2 to 
enumerate libs/*/test and libs/*/*/test by itself? There are a few special 
cases; those can be left in as special cases or fixed.

Ideally, adding a library should not involve changes to any central 
repositories of information. You put it in libs/mylib and everything should 
just pick it up, as long as it follows the directory structure guidelines 
and has the necessary metadata.
