I agree. The patch also removes some compile warnings like the following:

/Users/Shared/Toolkits/boost-1_39/include/boost-1_39/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:224:
warning: ‘boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_close’ defined but
not used

which is wreaking havoc on my builds.

Pretty sure I still have commit rights. Who else needs to review these
changes so that they can be rolled into the next point release?
