[boost] Regression testing enhancements

We are in the process of enhancing boost regression runs coverage and
reporting.

We've added Boost.Python and Boost.Spirit to our nightly runs. The
following are issues we've encountered so far:

1. Boost.Python required some minor changes to msvc-stlport toolset -
   solved locally (see http://tinyurl.com/t88e)

2. The python test fail if run as a part of status/jamfile - runs fine
   if ran from libs/python/test (see log below)

3. The requirement of unique test names across all libraries is really
   hurting (see http://tinyurl.com/t88o).

   The table is messed up because Boost.Python and Boost.Preprocessor
   test names conflict with MPL ones.

We would appreciate if the interested parties took a look at these.
