Don't do that.

Do this instead:
test-suite "xpressive"
: [ run regress.cpp ]
;

testing.jam shows:
run ( sources + : args * : input-files * : requirements * : name ? : default-build * )
so
[ run regress.cpp : : : <sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT) ]
would work. But I don't know why you want to add it, since it gets
added automatically by all the testing rules ;-).
