Looking up the testing.jam code... "test-suite" isn't a target. All it 
does is make an alias for the other real test targets. So I don't think 
you can do what you want currently, but Voladya would know better. 
Perhaps this is related to this issue 
<http://zigzag.cs.msu.su/boost.build/ticket/68> I brought up long ago now.
