Gennadiy,

I have had similar problems with Boost.Test. I did manage to use the 
debugger, when I created the test application directly in visual studio 
and added the parameters, but I have been unable to get the same 
behavior when compiling via bjam fro visual slick-edit.

IMO, it should be dead-simple to do this. Can we be given a little help?

Thanks
