The recent build summaries for boost.python come up all blank.
I'm guessing this is a bad sign.
Are the log files somewhere from which I could tell what's wrong?

Given boost svn trunk, I found out I can run bootstrap.sh to get
a bjam executable. But I couldn't figure out how to build and run the
python tests. Could some help with the commands I need? I have Fedora
6, 8, 11, 12.

Yes. Create a function as follows (in your Jamfile):

    rule require-windows ( properties * )
    {
        if ! <target-os>windows in $(properties)
        {
            return <build>no ;
        }
    }

then, in requirements of your tests, use <conditional>@require-windows, e.g:

    [ bpl-test calling_conventions : : <condiitonal>@require-windows ]

Note that cygwin is a different OS from windows, so if the test must be run on
cygwin, you need to adjust conditional accordingly.

Does this help?
