Ooop. Sorry, this is what I'd meant by running bjam in the status directory.

As you say, it's a good idea to capture the output. However, it's 13M: I 
need something more concise.

So, my original issue remains: how to get the summary?

In boost v1, using run_tests.sh I got something that could be eyeballed.

So, from that, I'm assuming something like:

cd status
bjam $bjam_flags | >& regress.log
cat regress.log | process_jam_log

then some kind of invocation of compiler_status.

However, I cannot figure out which directory compiler_status is to be 
run in: it seems to be particular, and want a "Jamfile". But, which one?

The v1 build log shows directories that don't exist in v2.

:(
