Oh, sorry, I should have mentioned that due to recent changes, if you 
don't have prebuilt bjam executable in the 'regression.py' directory, and
you are using a numbered toolset, then you need to specify the bjam 
bootstrap toolset separately (since it only supports a few), using the 
'--bjam-toolset' option:

    python regression.py --runner=<your runner id> --toolsets=mingw-3.4.1 --bjam-toolset=vc7
    
I guess we could determine this situation and fall back to the default 
bjam toolset automatically. We'll look into this.
