This is exactly how I ran tests yesterday and everything was fine: bjam
was using user-config.jam pointed to by BOOST_BUILD_USER_CONFIG env.
variable.

They don't get passed on on 'setup' phase and do get passed on on
'test' phase. I don't know why's the difference and, of course, one
needs user-config.jam on both phases.

BOOST_BUILD_USER_CONFIG seems to be exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the help,
