Re: [Boost-testing] question re V2

http://tinyurl.com/mcc95 - I suspect this easily fixed but just adding 
<gcc><cxx...>... to the Jamfile.V2
So that's not a problem.

Other examples don't show up yet because V2 isn't being run for all 
compilers yet.
Here is a list of things that are addressed in serialization.jam included by 
the V1
jamfiles.  Currently this is handled by 
libs/serialization/build/serialization.jam which
is included in both the test and library build jamfiles.

For the following toolsets, spirit 1.6 has to be installed
 "borland*" "msvc*" "iw*" "vc-6*" case "vc7*""vc-7_0*" "gcc-2*" :

For the following toolsets wide character i/o is skipped for build and test
"*cygwin" "como*" "mingw*"

For the following toolsets, DLL build and test is skipped
 "como*" "msvc-stlport" "vc-6_5-stlport", "cw*" :

Certain toolsets need  or benefit from some extra sauce when
building/testing with the serialization library

"vc*", "msvc*", -Gy  // function level linkage

"gcc*", "QCC*", "mingw*" // template depth increased to 255

This has permitted that skiping of tests/library builds which
are none apriori to fail.  The usage of regular expressions has
permited the specification to include combinations which may
not yet be explictly in the toolset directory.
