Hello all,

Expected regression test failures are marked with "fail*" and give an
explanation for why the failure is expected:
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/output/Sandia-intel-10-1-boost-bin-v2-libs-scope_exit-test-emulation_tpl-test-intel-linux-10-1-debug-link-static.html

How do I add an explanation for a new expected failure? Is there some
documentation on this process?

For example, emulation_this and emulation_this_tpl are expected to fail on
MSVC8 and the user should use native type-of for those-- how do I add a link
with such explanation the regression test table?

Thanks a lot!
