Gordon, you can rewrite this example using metatest:
----
#include <mpllibs/metatest/test.hpp>
const mpllibs::metatest::suite_path suite("example_test_suite");
typedef
  mpl::equal<preorder_adj::type, mpl::vector<A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A> >
  my_test;
MPLLIBS_ADD_TEST(suite, my_test)
----
Why not use the function-type-trick with double parentheses employed by
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT and avoid the need to write a separate typedef?
