Hmm, I thought we did that with all of the tests. There's this macro below:
int main(){
#if defined(BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING) || \
defined(BOOST_DATE_TIME_INCLUDE_LIMITED_HEADERS)
check("No wstring/wstream support for this compiler", false);
#else
but apparently that's not taking effect in this case. Maybe we need an
additional config settting here...
