What target should I specify to run all the tests in all
test suites within 
single Jamfile?

Do you mean something other than just running bjam in the
test directory 
where the Jamfile is?

Yes. Can I specify actual target (it used to be test I
believe). I need this 
for consistency, since I run bjam wrapped into script.

I guess you could use the "all" target, IIRC.

Nope. both all and test produce:

"don't know how to make ..."

To build all targets in current Jamfile it's possible to
do:

	bjam .

What if I do not want all targets (there may be potentially
some auxiliary 
targets), but only related to unit testing? Why can't we
have test target as 
we used to have?

What is the practical problem with building those auxiliary
targets?

I don't think so -- it's possible in theory but does not
seem like
the most important thing to implement.

It maybe test input file generation target that take half an
hour to run. In 
any case I just need to run the tests not anything else.

I am sure you have your own priority, but it's important
usebiility issie IMO.

I agree, but it's actually pretty easy to achieve.  See 
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser
/trunk/libs/python/example/Jamroot
which does it.
