That's my understanding, too.

That are pretty much my requirements when switching through a ton of
different configurations of compiler versions / bitness (32 or 64) /
mode (debug or release) when I test changes to one of the 110 Boost
libraries, that I needed to fork.

Ok, so how do I fire off a libraries test-suite using f.i.
msvc-14.1/32/release concurrently to another one using f.i.
msvc-14.0/64/release (and may be some more)? I may be missing something.

At present I start one process using b2 with these three configuration
parameters for each one of the configuration tuples. Something similar
happens when I build a Boost distribution.
