So 'regressions' against 1.31 now show up as 'red' boxes?

Some of the date-time failures with gcc2.95 appear to be a runtime
configuration issue:

Run output []:

../bin/boost/libs/date_time/test/testconstrained_value.test/gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux/debug/testconstrained_value:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.3-2.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Martin, any ideas why many of the tests can pass and some can fail?  Only
difference I see is that the failing tests are low-level template tests that
do not link boost date-time while the passing tests all link the library.

As for Intel, it looks like there's a couple tests I need to mark as failing...
