Regression test programs can be passed arguments, and can have input files.

Is this documented anywhere?

The only documentation I found was in some comments in status/Jamfile:

test-suite config
: [ run libs/config/test/config_test.cpp
<lib>../libs/test/build/boost_test_exec_monitor
: #args
: #input-files
: #requirements
<threading>multi
]
...

But the #input-files argument location differs from an actual working
Jamfile:

test-suite regex
: [ run regress/parse.cpp regress/regress.cpp regress/tests.cpp
<lib>../build/boost_regex
<lib>../../test/build/boost_prg_exec_monitor
:
$(test-files)
:
:
<define>BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB=1
<define>BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK=1
<threading>multi
:
regress ]

This came up in some conversations with the Spirit folks, who are in
process of integrating Spirit with the regular Boost regression testing.
