It would be nice if we could drop serialization on compilers that just aren't going to work.
Right. I once suggested that this should be implemented for all libraries. Its nonsense to run the tests for libraries which are marked as non-working for certain compilers. This should be a feature of the build system. We don't have that feature, yet. I'm not aware of anyone working on it.
I'd be willing to try, but I think we might get more bang-for-the-buck if I set things up so that failed tests don't run until they're outdated. That part can be done entirely within Boost.Build rather than trying to figure out how to combine some XML markup with it... unless something in the Jamfile that causes the test to be skipped for certain toolsets is enough for you.
