Just go into boost/lib/test/test directory and try to run test on windows:

Off the top of my head I've seen:

install rule not found
boost home directory is missing
gcc is not found
ar is not found
link is not found

I introduced some hacks to be able to run, but this is really inconvenient,
since I can't check them in.

Hmm. It worked for me with latest cygwin's gcc. Can you see where it fails?
Otherwise I'll try to figure it out tonight.

Ah, right. Did not have a time to fix double ref last night, but this should be
simple.

If I can't figure out crashes I'll revert changes.
