I'd like to disable some serialization tests if I am running a ubsan build
on travis.  Is there a way in the Jamfile I can make it conditional on an
environment variable, or should I define something like
BOOST_DATE_TIME_UBSAN and put "if !defined" in the appropriate tests?
import os ;
if ! [ os.environ BOOST_DATE_TIME_UBSAN ]
{
   ...
}

This will work with both environment variables and
-sBOOST_DATE_TIME_UBSAN=... on the command line.

For the record, I think that disabling tests like
this is a great way to make sure that the bug
never gets fixed.
