Yes, you can go to libs/test/build and run

   bjam --v2 link=shared

Probably so.

This should not be a problem. If you add ../build/$(lib-name) to sources, 
you'll link to shared library, If you add  ./build/$(lib-name)/<link>static 
to sources, you'll link to static library.

By default, V2 builds only debug library. To build release with one of the 
above you can use:

  bjam --v2 release link=shared
  bjam --v2 release link=static

Well, "vc-8_0" is V1 toolset name, and I don't know about any 8.0 results with 
V2 yet. Victor is running 8.0 tests with V2 right now and hopefully the 
results will be available in half-a-day. I'll take a look then.
