Re: [boost] [Serialization] Major regressions on RC_1_33_0

In principle I have no problem with this.  I'm not sure whether we want to 
do it right now.  Its really only a very minor inconvenience that only 
effects the test matrix which will soon be replaced with HEAD again so my 
vote is to just not mess with this until later.  If you guys give the go 
ahead I'll do it now - otherwise we can let it slide until 1.33.1 is out.

P.S. sorry I couldn't figure this out myself.
