Things that generate "skipped" messages:
1) GZip and BZip2 (does it even have that?) support for Boost.IOStreams.
(requires zlib and libbzip2)
2) Unicode support for Boost.Regex. (requires ICU)
3) I think Boost.Python is skipped if it can't find a Python installation.

Things that could fail:
Everything. In my experience, though, Boost.Python is the most problematic.

Things you're missing:
The optional stuff that was skipped.
Depending on when it failed, potentially everything that has a compiled
part: Regex, Filesystem, parts of DateTime, parts of BGL, Python - I
think that's all.

In other words, you have everything that doesn't require compilation.
