First.. The test are being run.  Jut not getting reported.

Second.. Are you sure they used to show up? I'm seeing this as the reported
test info:

boost-test(COMPILE) "winapi/~hdr-decl/interlocked~hpp" :
"libs/winapi/test/compile/decl_header.cpp"

Which seems to match this code:

      #       All '/' are replaced with '-' because apparently test scripts
have a problem with test names containing slashes.
      local test_name = [ regex.replace $(rel_file) "/" "-" ] ;
      local decl_test_name = ~hdr-decl/$(test_name) ;
      local use_winh_test_name = ~hdr-use-winh/$(test_name) ;
      local pre_winh_test_name = ~hdr-pre-winh/$(test_name) ;
      local post_winh_test_name = ~hdr-post-winh/$(test_name) ;

But the code seems to contradict itself by adding "/" in the test names
after saying it can't have "/".

If this used to work.. I suspect my addition of the global library check
test has illuminated this rather annoying limitation in the test reporting.
But one easy way to fix it is to remove the additional "/" you are adding
in the *_winh_test_name vars.
