Hmm - not quite true.

Failures in the HEAD are due to one of the following.

a) stuff that always failed due to features of the VC 6 compiler.
b) new version of binary archives doesn't work with VC 6
c) support for boost test is deprecated with this (I think?) in the
HEAD.  I believe that any failures other than the above are
artifacts of boost test.
