Also, I'm would like to remind anyone interested that it's
very easy to run tests for one library at a time on your own system
by invoking library_test.sh (or bat) from the library's test directory
This works with the current boost/build bjam files etc. and generates
a table of test results.  You don't to wait for tests to be be run for
your platform and the libraries you use.
.
The only thing required is to build one executeable whose
source included in boost - BOOSTDIR/tools/regression/src/library_test..
