Which tests?

Some ScopeExit and LocalFunction requires variadic macros and C++11 lambdas
so I used Boost.Config to detect if these are not supported and fail these
tests with 

#error "variadic macros required"

or

#error "lambda functions required"

I find these errors more readable than the ugly ones the libraries will
generate otherwise. The point is that users should not use some library
features at all without variadic macros or lambda functions (so if the
libraries generate nasty errors when the regression tests check these
features blindly on all compilers).

Are these the tests you are referring to?

Thanks.
