There's too many of them, and they're mainly useful for porting a new 
compiler to Boost - the shortened tests in status/ are sufficient for normal 
regression testing.  Also some of the individual config tests require a 
number one human eyeball to decide whether a failure is "real" or "not worth 
worying about": the latter can occur when there's more than one non-standard 
feature that could be enabled to achieve the same effect.
