Does our testing infrastructure allow a test to return a "skipped/not applicable" status, that is, to inform the test script that the current test requires optional features that are not supported by the current compiler?

I'm thinking specifically of move - rvalue reference - support.

How do you want the presence of that 'optional features' to be detected?

I don't think I want it detected from the outside. My test will detect it by using, for example, #ifndef BOOST_HAS_RVALUE_REFS, and transform itself into a single "return EXIT_SKIPPED;" statement. The idea is that I know that the feature isn't present since it's wrapped in the same #ifdef in the library header.
