I looked at the status table and I think its very promising.  There are
lots of tests that test different combinations.  I tried to make each
test test the minimum amount of stuff but infact, a couple of problems
will make lots of tests fail.  The first time I ran it with gcc I got 100%
failures !.  However, I believe that many of the failures will be cleared
up with just a couple of changes.  Looking at the status table, I would
bet that finding/fixing an error in the text_archive will clear up a lot of
failures.  Then I would go for void_cast as its more self contained and
could explain the pointer failures.  Of course finding the last problem
is going to be the hardest.
I am very excited about your success in this.  Pavel Vozenilek [pavel_vozenilek_at_[hidden]] is making huge progress in getting
intel 7.0 / dinkumware to work which may well fix VC 6.0.  
BTW - I think this illustrates how incredibly valuable is the boost
test/build concoction.  The combination of two has really changed 
my life.
Thank you for your efforts.
