[1]: A single unit test currently always is reported as failing to link correctly on MSVC. Antony believes this to be a bug in Windows bjam, as the Jamfile marks the link as expected to fail using link-fail but bjam does not respect this on Windows in this one use case scenario (yet weirdly the other expected link failures work fine!).
I'm aware of this bug. link-fail doesn't work with the msvc toolset, because there are two separate updating actions (msvc.link and msvc.manifest). FAIL_EXPECTED currently requires that /every/ updating action fails. No one was using it before, so put it at low priority. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
