You're going to be disappointed. There is no such file. Firstly, trunk
is the wild west, and no effort is made to make it "known good", ever.
That's what the release branch is for. Second, even on the release
branch, there is never a time when boost is passing all its tests, for
all libraries, on all platforms. Even if you narrow your search to a
single library on a single platform, you may find that there was never a
time when it passed *all* its tests.

A better question would be: is a snapshot of the regression results kept
for each official boost release? If it were, then you could see if the
features of the libraries on the platforms that are important to you are
passing. I don't actually know the answer to that.
