FWIW, I need the same thing, as expressed in an earlier post:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/6301

On related matter, I tried using the unit_test rule; however,
I'm getting:
<---------
Jamfile.v2:16: in modules.load
rule unit_test unknown in module 
Jamfile</home/evansl/prog_dev/boost-release/boost_1_32_0/lje/libs/fields_visitor/test>.
>---------
where the Jamfile.v2 contains:
<---------
import testing ;

unit_test field_sets_test
: field_sets_test.cpp
: ../../../../libs/test/build//boost_unit_test_framework
;
>---------
I then looked for some docs on unit_test without success. I looked
at http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2.html and followed several, what
seemed like logical links, from there:

"Builtin target types"
"Main target rules"
"Toolset modules"
"Targets"

as well as links from http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/index.html
without success.

Could the boost build library documentation have a list of main targets
and descriptions of how to use them to avoid this problem?

TIA.
