Once upon a time.. I started with step 0 of that. By having bjam be able 
to output XML of the build results. With the hope of someone taking that 
XML and processing it into some test reporting tools. Not necessarily 
rewriting the existing one, but using some externally available ones. 
Unfortunately the reporting capabilities of existing tools doesn't 
approach the utility of results we currently get (even if we get them at 
a high cost).

But some integration of the bjam XML output with other web test report 
tools as a GSoC would be great!
