Hi Chris and Michael

I note at
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summary.html
there are no results for VisualAge C++.  We're generally reluctant to
apply patches to support any given compiler if there isn't someone
running tests, so we can verify that it makes things better and that
we haven't introduced regressions.  Michael told me in Lillehammer
that y'all were running the tests with the results upload step
disabled.  If that's the case, you could just start uploading the
results to us on a regular basis and it would be much easier to
support your compiler.

Thanks,
