Do you mean in the Jamfile that declares the tests for that library?

Ultimately this is probably a good idea - but in the short term even 
libraries that are marked as "clean" often generate a minor blizzard of 
warnings from their dependencies - often only the same warning over and 
over, but this is probably not such a good idea until we've reduced the 
warnings from the "core" libraries a bit.
