I had seen this file, but the only reference that I can see for the
python lib is (on CVS HEAD):

    <!-- python -->
    <library name="python">
        <mark-unusable>
            <toolset name="borland"/>
            <toolset name="borland-5.5.1"/>
            <toolset name="borland-5.6.4"/>
            <note refid="2"/>
            <note refid="17"/>
        </mark-unusable>
    </library>

Where is the code that causes (for example) the args test to show up as
an expected failure on gcc-2.95.3-linux?

Thanks,
