As soon as I see regression runners using an official script against an OSL 
svn I'll be happy to shut up.

Ah, the first job is to make a list of them -- they're all on boost.org -- 
please do so.  The ones I know of off hand:

http://www.boost.org/more/release_procedures.htm
http://www.boost.org/tools/regression/xsl_reports/runner/instructions.html
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html
http://www.boost.org/more/release_mgr_checklist.html

Probably a more general way is to do this query:

http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&hs=RYu&q=cvs+site%3Awww.boost.org&btnG=Search

Oh and since we won't have sourceforge CVS instructions any longer we'll need 
something like this page as well:

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586
