Thanks, test results for bcp are here: 
http://beta.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/bcp.html but they're 
fairly minimal tests (anything more would probably time out anyway :( ).  In 
any case I don't think the two remaining failures can be fixed at this 
point, so I'll merge later today unless anyone objects...

Cheers, John.
