Thank you Steven and Edward! This works:

alias "smoke-ts"
:
   [ exe smoke-ts-static : smoke-ts/basic-smoke-test.cpp 
../build//boost_unit_test_framework/<link>static ]
   [ run smoke-ts-static : --log_sink=smoke-ts-sink.xml --log_format=XML 
  : : : bt-st-t1  ]
   [ run smoke-ts-static : --log_sink=smoke-ts-sink2.xml 
--log_format=HRF : : : bt-st-t2 ]
;

exactly as I expect (build the binary and then test it with different 
options).

However, if I add

   [ exe smoke-ts-shared : smoke-ts/basic-smoke-test.cpp 
../build//boost_unit_test_framework/<link>shared ]
   [ run smoke-ts-shared : --log_sink=smoke-ts-sink.xml --log_format=XML 
  : : : bt-sh-t1  ]

I run into a conflict because "basic-smoke-test.cpp" is compiled with 
two different set of options while reusing the same obj.

Can I specify not reusing the same obj?

Thanks again for the quick support,
Raffi
