You mean this part of libs/python/test/Jamfile:

  template py-unit-test
  :
  : $(PYTHON_PROPERTIES) <define>BOOST_PYTHON_SUPPRESS_REGISTRY_INITIALIZATION
    [ difference $(PYTHON_PROPERTIES) : <define>BOOST_PYTHON_DYNAMIC_LIB ]
      <define>BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB
    ;

I think that:

   1. $(PYTHON_PROPERTIES) should be usage requirements on the 'python' target  
     (in python.jam). There are some already, but maybe I've missed some.
   2. <define>BOOST_PYTHON_SUPPRESS_REGISTRY_INITIALIZATION should be
     just project requirements in test/Jamfile.v2
   3. The BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB should probaly be usage requirements on 
     the boost_python target.

I have did points (2) and (3). I don't know if anything should be done about 
(1).
