[Boost-users] path of test-binary

Hi,

how can I get the path where b2 placed the binaries of boost tests?
Problem is the following:
some of the tests need the path to a shared library, which is built
together with the tests.

in the lib/mylib/tests/Jamfile.v2 I have the following:

[...]
# our test lib for shared library tests
lib test_library : test_library.cpp ;

test-suite mylib
   :
   #
   # shared library
   #
   [ run shared_library_load_test.cpp ]
   [ run shared_library_get_symbol_test.cpp ]
   #
   #
[...]

Inside shared_library_*_test.cpp I need something like this:
boost::filesystem::path
tstlib("bin.v2/libs/mylib/test/mycompiler/test_library.so");

As boost.build decides by itself where to put the binary, i cannot
hardcode the path in the source-files.. Is there a way to get the path
from boost.build? If not, how could I solve this problem?
