That is now covered by the added test, isn't it?
I'd also suggest to have (compile) tests that at least include the aggregate headers such as <boost/compute.hpp>.
Could even be in the super-project or as a specific test target such that one could compile test this for all libs at once.

Some time ago I suggested that b2 supports compiling binaries but not running them. Not sure if this was implemented by now.
Would it be feasible to compile all tests before release?

I guess there still need to be some tests that don't get disabled without OpenCL.
Currently it applies to all tests, not sure if this is really a hard requirement for all of them.
