The "readiness-to-use" very much depend on details. For PC platforms, Boost
has a testing mechanisms that work.

For ARM, well, I'm not sure. How do you want to run the tests? On a
simulator, or on a real target? In any case, this will require changes to
Boost.Build.

It can be easier to just compile tests (libs/<library>/test) for a library
you're interested in, and run it manually.
