[boost] Experimental compiler status annotation

An experimental version of today's Win32 compiler status table is available 
at http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-win32.html

Please look at the random library tests as an example. You should be able 
to click on the "fail" superscripts to see a note as to the specific status 
of each failure.

This detailed accounting is intended to let Boost users, developers, 
release managers, and compiler vendors know more about test failures.

Because of the human effort involved, it will only be possible to do this 
detailed accounting for compilers which have a small number of failures. 
I'm hoping that for the next Boost release we can set a release criteria of 
accounting for 100% of all tests on at least a few compilers.

Comments?
