CVS RC_1_30_0 branch results (relative to 1.30.0 tarball) are available now.

Notes: 

* A number of our toolsets are different from standard boost ones. They have
been patched 1) to allow the extending of them (as in the case of borland)
2) to fix the configuration problems we think boost jam files had (as in the
case of intel-7.1-stlport). We plan to make the description of changes
available from the status web pages, but haven't done it yet

* our Intel toolsets are installed to work in vc6.0 compatibility mode

* We have patched STL 4.5.3 Intel compiler make file

* We are open to suggestions regarding adding new toolsets to our tests.
Obviously it is not possible to test all configurations - so some selection
criteria needs to be set up.
