622	Boost doesn't pass all test suites	cipri	adek336	"running the test suite of boost, it's clear that there are still some problems.

1) boost.locale seems to have some problems related to libiconv / icu
   (i guess/hope that this one is not a major one, I guess it's more about making boost find icu, and build with icu support, then it should work fine)

2) boost.filesystem seems to fail enough tests, but i can not say exactly the causes and how big the severity is.

3) boost.thread passes a huge amount of tests (many hundreds) but still fails on a few. I guess with a little more work of ingo on the threads, this library could pass all tests successfully.

If you want to run the tests suites yourself you can first build boost and then in the top folder boost creats an executable called ""bjam"". Make a link to bjam  into to ""bin-folder"" of haiku. then inside the sourcecode-folder of boost, go to the folder ""libs"", enter the folder with the lib you want to test, then enter the subfolder ""test"" of the lib you want to test and run there in terminal: ""bjam"".

If you want to run all tests at once, you have to enter from the top-folder, the folder calleds ""status"", and run there in termainal: bjam

Now that boost builds cleanly, I guess it's easier to work on it. So perhaps there is a volunteer, since sadly I dont have time anymore in the next month.
