the attachment regression.py.out contains the diagnostic.

I also (tried to) patch regression.py so that it accepts a directory 
from where the boost installation can be copied (instead of downloading 
it). So now I define a proxy which is actually a path, if the proxy does 
not contain "http", the script will copytree the boost instead of 
download it. I is not a high-quality patch but my python still needs a 
lot of improving and it does what I currently need.
