A SAX2-like implementation (both interfaces and the parser drivers) 
in "plain" C++ would be very nice....

BUT/AND/WHATEVER:

In all of the talk of doing a library(ies), I think the original 
poster's point was somewhat lost - if the regression tests produced 
their data as a fairly straightforward XML document, then the HTML 
table on the website could be automatically generated via XSLT, while 
the results would be in a format amenable for further analysis.

The only "tools" needed for this are std::ostream<< for creating the 
XML results doc, the XSLT transform for creating the HTML exactly as 
it currently appears on http://www.boost.org/status/cs-win32.html 
(for example), and an off-the-shelf XSLT processor like SAXON to run 
the transform....
