Thanks for the pointer!

I now have

[ bpl-test pointer_vector
   : # files
   : # requirements
     # Turn off this test on HP CXX, as it hangs when executing.
     <toolset><hp_cxx>:<build>no ]

This seems to be syntactically correct but still compiles the test when 
invoked like this:

 > bjam -n -d1 --v2 hp_cxx-71_006_tru64 pointer_vector
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

I tried to replace hp_cxx with hp_cxx-71_006_tru64, to no avail.
