Whatever, it appears we still have not fixed the bugs in
type_with_alignment, as

http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32_metacomm/developer_result_page.html#iterator

shows.

I am also a little surprised when I look at that frame to see no
failures marked in red, since everything but zip_iterator_test,
interoperable_fail, and is_convertible_fail was passing on all
platforms a few days ago.  I understand the logic that causes this,
but I think maybe we need to change it.  If a test was once working,
a change to non-working should be alarming, at least until we account
for it.
