[boost] Win32 tests being updated regularly

The Win32 regression tests will be run several times a day, depending on 
activity, until the 1.29.0 release is complete.

See http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32-index.html and 
particularly 
http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32-diff.html

In the twelve hours or so since the last run, the great bulk of the 
Boost.Test warnings have been fixed, and a number of other problems were 
cleared too.  I didn't have to manually kill any tests.

But there is one worrisome issue: looking at the bjam output log, it 
appears that there were many Boost.Test compile failures.  See example 
below.

How could the many tests that depend on Boost.Test pass if the Boost.Test 
library isn't being built?  Is it possible that bjam is failing to 
recognize this, and using the residue library from the previous run?
