In order to run unit tests for *all* of the libraries you need to run bjam from
the boost\status directory; to run tests for a single library you need to run
bjam from that library's test directory, boost\libs\<library>\test.

To get a nicely formatted result report you should proceed more or less as
follow (I have the exact details at home):

Apply the patch I recently posted to the Boost.Testing mailing list;
Run the following command sequence, replacing the correct values for <your
toolset> and <Boost root>:

bjam -a --v2 --dump-tests toolset=<your toolset> >bjam.log 2>&1
process_jam_log --v2 <bjam.log
compiler_status --v2 <Boost root> cs-win32-full.html cs-win32-links.html

Hope this helps.
