Understandable.

I tried just enabling the Metaprogramming test ( build/CMakeCache.txt 
contained:

//Enable testing of Boost.Metaprogramming
TEST_BOOST_METAPROGRAMMING:BOOL=ON

), then I did `make -i` (as suggested by wiki/CMakeTesting), then 
`ctest`; however, all tests failed:

cd ~/prog_dev/boost-svn/ro/sandbox-branches/boost-cmake/build/
ctest

Doug, do you have any idea what I should do to get these
tests to run?

TIA.
