Ugh, now I see what's happening (roughly). It's the monstrosity
below. Aside from being hideous, unmaintainable, and slowing the whole
build process, is there some reason to ad this to the Jamfile? Is
there a reason that these type_traits tests which all use identical
boilerplate could not use some custom rules to eliminate code
duplication?

Sorry to be so arch, but if the boost test Jamfiles spin out of
control it's going to make maintenance difficult for everybody...
