static link enforcement ofr the toolset

How can I enforce Boost.Test users  for toolset msvc-6.5 to
use exlusively 
static link?

What should I put in users-requirements?

You cannot do this.

Is this a technical limitation, or it's incorrect
ideologically?

Is there any alternative? Can add something in my
test/Jamfile to enforce it 
for my own unit tests?

It's a complex behaviour which makes it hard to implement
and hard 
to decide how actually it should work. Say you have a target
that
uses both Boost.Test and libraryX. Boost.Test, when built,
returns <link>static requirements. But at this point,
the
other dependent, libraryX, might already be built with
<link>shared.

Yes, <toolset>msvc-6.5:<link>static
