However, Boost bends over backwards to make even the worst compilers 
compliant with as much of it's libraries as possible.  So just 
because compiler X passes the majority of the tests (maybe even all) 
is not an indication that the compiler is worth a plug nickel or that 
Boost is in any way endorsing it.

I agree that the test results are useful but I don't agree that this 
is enough to indicate that Boost does not endorse the product.
