// DESCRIPTION:
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~
//
// This file tests the legendre polynomials.  
// There are two sets of tests, spot
// tests which compare our results with selected values computed
// using the online special function calculator at 
// functions.wolfram.com, while the bulk of the accuracy tests
// use values generated with NTL::RR at 1000-bit precision
// and our generic versions of these functions.
//
// Note that when this file is first run on a new platform many of
// these tests will fail: the default accuracy is 1 epsilon which
// is too tight for most platforms.  In this situation you will 
// need to cast a human eye over the error rates reported and make
// a judgement as to whether they are acceptable.  Either way please
// report the results to the Boost mailing list.  Acceptable rates of
// error are marked up below as a series of regular expressions that
// identify the compiler/stdlib/platform/data-type/test-data/test-function
// along with the maximum expected peek and RMS mean errors for that
// test.
//

void expected_results()
{
   //
   // Define the max and mean errors expected for
   // various compilers and platforms.
