Hello,

concerning regressions in Boost.Test, ticket #6331 "g++ compilation error 
due to ambiguity between template<class Cond, class T> struct 
boost::enable_if and class boost::unit_test::decorator::enable_if as well 
as the disable_if counterparts introduced after Boost 1.48.0 (up to at 
least svn rev. 76217)" <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6331> is 
quite annoying, as it makes Boost.Test unusable with all libraries, which 
make use of boost::enable_if<Cond, T> and don't fully qualify the 
namespace boost::. This affects also several Boost libraries, e.g., 
Boost.Spirit. This breaking change was introduced after the Boost 1.48 
release.

Best regards,

Torsten Maehne
