There are a bunch of tests in the serialization library which make no
sense to run if the compiler/library doesn't support wide character i/o.
In order to skip these, I've included the following rule in the jamfile.v2.

It doesn't seem to be skipping tests.  What am I missing here?

# each of the following tests is run with each type of archive
rule run-winvoke ( test-name : sources * : defns * )
{
    local save-test = [ dependency-save-test $(test-name) ] ;

    local tests ;
    tests += [
        run-template $(test-name)
        : # sources
            $(sources)
            ..build/boost_serialization
            ..build/boost_wserialization
        : # requirements
            <define>$(defns)
            <define>BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC=1
            # both stlport and msvc6 define iswspace
            <toolset>msvc,<stdlib>stlport:<linkflags>"-force:multiple"
            <dependency>$(save-test)
            <dependency>../../config/test/all//BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF
    ] ;
    return $(tests) ;
}
