After we switch 100% to the jam-based regression tests, that will be fairly 
painless to do since the jam-based tests don't re-do tests unless something 
has changed With the current tests, each additional compiler adds quite a 
bit to the time, so I won't add it for this release.

Aren't BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE and BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF related to Comeau's 
use of the MS libraries, and so apply even if in strict mode?
