I wonder then if it would be of benefit to generate one .html file for each .xml file instead of combining them?  I noticed when I
hit one of the 'Fail' links and then returned to summary page that all of the 'Fail' links where colored as if I had visited each
one.  It would be nice if only the one I actually navigated to was highlighted.  Since web browsers only track visits on the file
level this would require one html file per toolset per test.

I also agree with Dave that an overall summary page by library would be a really nice.  The page is already long and as boost
grows and adds more tests this is going to get out of hand.  I'm thinking something like:
        Summary Results for 2002-07-23 15:24:00 for Win32 -- 3 toolsets:
        * GCC 3.1
        * Borland
        * Metroworks

  library     #tests    failures   warn   missing
  filesystem    3           0        1       0
  thread        1           0        1       0
  tokenizer     5           2        0       0

Library names would then hyperlink to an html file which contains only the results for that library.

Finally, from the library author perspective is there a reference for what we need to do to get our tests plugged into the system?

Great work!
