Its BOOST_ROOT/libs/math/test/ directory is shared with some other libraries, so there's a lot of test files and the shared Jamfile.v2 used to make the tests is huge.  Is there a way to restrict which targets are built from the command line?  Right now, it takes MANY hours to go through every test.  (When I did something similar last week with another library, I just commented out all the other libraries sharing the file.  Do I have to resort to that all the time?)

Just put the name of the test on the command line.
For example,

Jamfile.v2:

run test1.cpp ;
run test2.cpp ;

> bjam test1
