The test I'd like to see run regularly are for the OS's we don't already 
have good coverage on. For example, pick several from the list that John 
Maddock posted:

 - HP-UX (HP-UX 9000/800)
 - HP-UX Itanium (ia64)
 - Linux PPC
 - Linux OS/390
 - Windows 64 Bit (Intel und AMD)
 - Sun Solaris (Sparc)
 - AIX
 - zOS
 - Alpha (OSF1)
 - AS/400

I'd also like to see a test or two of a compiler targeting embedded systems. 
Looking at a couple of vendor web pages, I see "complete STL support" 
listed, so presumably these compilers could handle Boost too.
