* errors_handling_test failing all Linux and Win32 GCC tests.

* The Metacomm tests are showing a few more Win32 regressions against 
1.30.2. For example, ublas has 13 regressions, including failing all 
Borland  5.5.1 tests, and 4 out of 7 CodeWarrior 8.3 tests. I'm concerned 
the CodeWarrior failures might be Boost errors that other compilers aren't 
picking up.

* http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/inspection_report.html still 
showing quite a few fixable errors. Boost.Python is reporting 31 errors.

* There have been a number of suggested patches posted without any response 
from maintainers. Need to check on those.

* I've got a prerelease checklist that hasn't been run through yet.

* I'm not sure if all iterator adaptor docs issues are solved yet. Likewise 
Boost.Random docs issues.
