I've posted two files in http://www.egroups.com/files/boost/Members+Only/

Note that these are intended to be run in a temporary or test directory; 
they leave the directory cluttered with compiler residue.

The first (boostenv.bat) is strictly a Windows command file; it must be 
tailored to supply paths for the local machine.

The second (regrtest.py) is a Python program to run compile tests and 
generate an HTML table.  It is pretty basic, and requires tailoring to add 
compilers or programs to the set tested.

The default is to run all programs against all compilers.  It is also 
possible (via command line options) to run all programs against a specific 
compiler, one program against all compilers, or one program against one 
compiler.

I usually pipe the outputs to a log file for later investigation:

    regrtest >log 2>&1

Be sure to run boostenv (or your own equivalent) before running regrtest.

Hopefully this will move us toward better testing before releases.
