Looking at what's already released, libs/spirit/phoenix/test, I see what
looks like a full suite of tests, and when I run bjam on them I get 45
tests passed (on MinGW gcc-4.4/win-32) and one failure.

So the full compliment of tests is there and likely known to work on a
couple platforms, just not run by the regression mechanism.

Thomas and Vincente -- thanks for the v3 input, too.

For the record, here's the failure (MinGW gcc-4.4/win-32):
