Hmm, do you mean I should not use the spirit version from the boost libs?

If so, I think this is the wrong way to go, since it would give 
misleading regression reult pages.

 From the results I can see, that boost spirit obviously is not 
available for borland-8.5.2 and msvc-6.5. Correct behaviour IMHO would 
be for the date_time detecting this fact and behave accordingly, i.e. 
giving a status result that says something alike: This test/feature 
depends on spirit, which is not available for this toolset.

Opinions?
