I tried, but I wasn't able to get test script to run; probably because
of my lack of knowledge of Python. My results were:

$ python test_all.py sun
skipping railsys test since QTDIR environment variable is unset
unit_tests :
"['/home/ccurrie/src/yards/build/test/../jam_src/bin.linuxx86/bjam',
'-sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=/home/ccurrie/src/yards/build/test', '-d0',
'--quiet', '--debug', '--build-system=test']" returned 1

... I don't understand why it's trying to use the Linux x86 tools.

Honestly, I don't know. I cribbed that code from the Borland toolset,
and figured whoever wrote it knew what they were talking about.
