I suspect this may be the cause of issue #2 as well?  Does this mean that 
two tests with the same name anywhere in Boost will clash?  These are in 
different directories so there really shouldn't be a clash even if there are 
two files with the same name.

Or a prefix like I did for std_ prefixed versions?  I'll update the Jamfile.
