[Boost-testing] regression looks much better now

After having applied the suggestions from
John Maddock the errors have dropped
considerably.

1) A summary for other regression runners:

   *) download spirit-1.6.3.zip from
      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28447
   *) unpack it to DRIVE:\spirit-1.6.3
   *) Add to user-config.jam :
      using msvc
         : 6.5
         : "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/Bin/cl.exe"
         : <cxxflags>-I"DRIVE:/spirit-1.6.3/boost"
         ;
     using borland
         : 5.8.2
         : "C:/Programm Files/Borland/BDS/4.0/Bin/bcc32.exe"
         : <cxxflags>-I"DRIVE:/spirit-1.6.3/boost"
         ;

2) The remaining borland errors:
    @nicola: Does the spirit-1.6.3 still need a patch,
             or is this the static link issue?

3) Failing test tests:
    This is a DLL issue. In file
    boost/test/test/unit_test_suite_impl.hpp
    the compiler coplains about base class test_unit
    not defined, despite it is. The compiler seems
    to have problems to see this class as defined.
    Something (possibly templated memebers?) are
    prohibiting this when the class is flagged as
    _declspec(dllexport).
    *) Is this a known issue?
    *) Can we safely flag these tests as n/a?
       A comment in libs/test/build/Jamfile.v2
       let me believe so.
