Hi,

I find in general all your libraries quite interesting.

What are the dependencies between these sub-libraries?

A meta program test case fails if you call static assert on some static 
condition, isn't it. If the user uses Boost.Test or any other kind of 
runtime check then the compilation doesn't fails. I'm wondering what 
metatest adds to Boost.Test then?

I hope to comeback with more comments of your libraries soon.

Good work,
