I didn't get any reply so far… was my question stupid? Or is it simply that no one knows? Is the author of BoostBook, Douglas Gregor, not around anymore?

Sorry, I was looking into this but a power cut got in the way. It looks like the xsl script at tools/boostbook/xsl/testing/Jamfile.xsl will generate a jamfile and test cases from tests marked up in xml, and you can find the xml schema details in the boostbook reference documentation. There doesn't seem to be any support for running this from boost build though.

thank you for looking into this :) I am still confused how to use this, though. I guess I will stick to my poor-mans cmake/python-based solution for now. Best regards, Hans
