Yes. That's been fixed, as have some Jamfile issues. Please read on.

I decided to not include the regression test status table generation 
programs in the 1.29.0 release. To much likelihood of people stumbling 
across it, and then wanting support and/or complaining when a bunch of 
code-breaking changes occur as Filesystem Library formal review suggestions 
are applied.

Instead, everything has been checked into the Boost CVS main trunk. See 
boost-root/tools/regression. Jamfiles are provided.

Please note that a great deal will change between now and the next release, 
as Filesystem Library formal review suggestions are applied.
