No, I mean tests that build actual executables and test whether they  
run correctly. For example, libs/function/test/function_test.cpp
All of the MPL tests are compiled, but not executed. The Boost-CMake  
reference documentation on the Trac describes these different kinds  
of tests; the same test categories exist in BBv2.

Because they don't exist. That's the point of the "compile" tests  
that MPL uses. BBv2 does the same thing (Boost.Build always has).
