Having such a wiki page would be good.

I've finished writing a generic .travis.yml draft file that is suitable for
almost any library that uses Boost:
https://github.com/apolukhin/variant/blob/travisci/.travis.yml There's some
'sed' black magic to provide only current library files to coveralls site.
Fast recursive git cloning is taken from run.py script.

I've also made a draft of a README.md file with results table
https://github.com/apolukhin/variant/tree/travisci.

We could start writing the wiki. Do you know where to start?

It would be good to hear more opinions about the TravisCI+Coveralls before
we start to add .travis.yml files to all the libraries.
